<p>An aircraft landing gear having a strut having an upper portion for mechanically coupling to an aircraft and a lower portion movably mounted with respect to the upper portion. A bogie beam is pivotally coupled to the lower strut. A bogie control linkage is mechanically coupled to the bogie at a first connection point, and to the strut at a second connection point. The bogie control linkage has: an actuator including a locking system that inhibits actuation of the actuator; a sensor linkage mechanically coupled to the lower strut and arranged to change between first and second conditions in accordance with movement of the upper strut relative to the lower strut; and an actuator control linkage arranged to operate the locking system when the sensor linkage is in the first condition and arranged not to operate the locking system when the sensor linkage is in the second condition.</p> |
