发明名称 Aircraft landing gear steering system
摘要 An aircraft landing gear steering system comprising a turning member that is operably coupled to a landing gear leg through a harmonic drive mechanism. The landing gear steering system may be electrically driven. Additionally, the landing gear system has various advantages, including the provision of a safe failure mode should the harmonic drive mechanism fail.

主权项 1. An aircraft landing gear steering system, comprising: a turning member concentrically mounted via a harmonic drive mechanism to a landing gear leg, wherein the landing gear leg or the turning member projects at least partially through or lies within the harmonic drive mechanism such that should the harmonic drive mechanism break, the landing gear system fails in a free-castor mode in which the turning member is free to rotate relative to the landing gear leg.
