Patent number: 11884384Abstract: A landing gear actuation system is disclosed herein. The landing gear actuation system includes a trunnion sprocket coupled to a movable member, a drive motor, and a flexible drive member extending between and to the motor and the trunnion sprocket. The motor is configured to move the flexible drive member, wherein the movement of the flexible drive member moves the trunnion sprocket and the movable member. The flexible drive member may be a belt or a chain.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: GOODRICH CORPORATIONInventors: Harald Klode, Kyle M. Madey, Gerard Cox

Patent number: 11326662Abstract: A damping actor selector may be configured to transition a multi-actor damping system from a first damping actor configuration to a second damping actor configuration. The multi-actor damping system may be used in a shock strut assembly to alter a damping curve of the shuck strut assembly. The damping actor selector may be coupled to a metering pin of a shock strut assembly. The damping actor selector may be configured to rotate the metering pin to transition the multi-actor damping system from a first damping actor configuration to a second damping actor configuration. The first damping actor configuration may correspond to a first damping curve. The second damping actor configuration may correspond to a second damping curve. The first damping curve being different than the second damping curve.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Goodrich CorporationInventor: Kyle M. Madey

Patent number: 11255398Abstract: A main orifice plate assembly may be configured to transition a multi-actor damping system from a first damping actor configuration to a second damping actor configuration. The multi-actor damping system may be used in a shock strut assembly to alter a damping curve of the shuck strut assembly. The main orifice plate assembly may be a part of a main orifice assembly including an orbital cam. The main orifice plate may include a flow restrictor. The flow restrictor may be configured to retract or deploy in response to main orifice plate rotating about the orbital cam. The first damping actor configuration may correspond to a first damping curve. The second damping actor configuration may correspond to a second damping curve. The first damping curve being different than the second damping curve.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Goodrich CorporationInventor: Kyle M. Madey
