Improved aircraft suspension system with mechanism operable to establish system vertical stiffness and damping and mechanism operationally independent thereof to establish system roll stiffness and damping

摘要

A passive aircraft landing gear system in which the spring rate and damping for aircraft rolling motions about a longitudinal axis are independent of the spring rate and damping for aircraft vertical motions, thereby permitting the landing gear system to optimally accomplish both landing impact attenuation and ground resonance instability abatement.
