A drive system for an aircraft landing gear is disclosed having a wheel rotatable about a wheel axis, a driven gear arranged to be attached to the wheel and capable of rotating the wheel about the wheel axis, a drive train comprising an input gear rotatable by an input shaft, an intermediate gear meshed with the input gear and rotatable by an intermediate shaft, and a support member arranged to support the input shaft and intermediate shaft. The support member is arranged to pivot about the input shaft between a neutral configuration in which the drive train is disengaged from the driven gear and a driven configuration in which the drive train is engaged with the driven gear to enable the drive train to rotate the driven gear. The drive system includes brake capable of being engaged with the input shaft to prevent rotation of the input shaft relative to the support member and of being disengaged from the input shaft to permit rotation of the input shaft relative to the support member. |
