<p>The landing gear system (113) for an aircraft includes a shock strut assembly (203) that is coupled to the airframe with a universal joint (215). A tire member (209) is mounted to the shock strut assembly. The landing gear system also includes a drag brace assembly (205) coupled to an airframe (213) of the aircraft with a spindle (231), the spindle being rotatable about a spindle axis (233). A radius rod (207) is rotatably coupled to the airframe (213) of the aircraft. The radius rod (207) and the shock strut assembly are retractable about a retraction rotation axis (221). Further, the spindle axis (233) has a common intersection point with the centerline axis and the retraction rotation axis (221). The orientation of the spindle axis (233) causes a translation of the tire member (209) to have a longitudinal component during a compression of the shock strut assembly (203). To be accompanied, when published, by Figure 4 of the drawings.</p> |
