Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for actuating a landing gear arrangement may include supplying a first pressure to an actuator, applying, by the actuator, a moment on a latch to rotate the latch in a first rotational direction, disengaging a first roller pin, engaging a stopper on a link, rotating the link in the first rotational direction about a pivot, the link coupled between a trailing arm and a shock strut, rotating the shock strut about a second end of the shock strut, rotating the trailing arm about a first end, and engaging a second roller pin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for actuating a landing gear arrangement comprising: supplying a first pressure to an actuator; applying, by the actuator, a moment on a latch to rotate the latch in a first rotational direction; disengaging a first roller pin; engaging a stopper on a link; rotating the link in the first rotational direction about a pivot, the link coupled between a trailing arm and a shock strut; rotating the shock strut about a second end of the shock strut; rotating the trailing arm about a first end; and engaging a second roller pin. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: supplying a second pressure to the actuator; applying a moment on the latch to rotate the latch in a second rotational direction; disengaging the second roller pin; engaging the stopper on the link; rotating the link about the pivot in the second rotational direction; rotating the shock strut about the second end of the shock strut; rotating the trailing arm about the first end; and engaging the first roller pin. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the disengaging and the engaging is performed by the latch and at least one of the applying and the rotating the link is performed by the actuator and at least one of the rotating the shock strut and the rotating the trailing arm is in response to the rotating the link.
