Publication number: 20180016001Abstract: An arrangement for landing gear comprises a piston, a bogie beam and forward and rear brake rods. The piston has an attachment portion with a pivot connection for the bogie beam at its lower end. The bogie beam is mounted to the attachment portion at the pivot connection. The bogie beam supports forward and rear brake assemblies on forward and rear sides of the piston. The forward brake rod is connected to the forward brake assembly at a location for acting under tension during braking and the rear brake rod is connected to the rear brake assembly at a location for acting under tension during braking. The rear end of the forward brake rod is connected to the attachment portion forward of the pivot connection of the bogie beam, and a forward end of the rear brake rod is connected to the attachment portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2017Publication date: January 18, 2018Applicant: Goodrich CorporationInventors: Rony Giovanni Ganis, James Bernard
