Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Nose landing gear arrangements including a folding follow-up door for reducing airflow noise for aircrafts, aircrafts including such nose landing gear arrangements, and methods for making such nose landing gear arrangements are provided herein. In one example, a nose landing gear arrangement includes a wheel assembly and a main strut. The main strut is operatively coupled to the wheel assembly and is configured to extend outside of the fuselage substantially along a generally vertical plane. A folding follow-up door is pivotally coupled to the main strut and extends to the fuselage. The folding follow-up door includes a first door section and a second door section that extend outwardly in directions away from each other to define an unfolded position. The folding follow-up door is foldable to move the first and second door sections towards each other about the generally vertical plane to define a folded position.
