  • Patent number: 8616495
    Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for actuating an undercarriage, the circuit comprising: a feed line for feeding fluid and a return line; at least one door selector connected to the feed and return lines, the selector feeding door service lines, including an opening line and a closing line for opening and closing the doors; at least one undercarriage selector connected to the feed and return lines, feeding undercarriage service lines including a deployment line and a raising line for deploying and raising the undercarriage; and a door unhooking line and an undercarriage unhooking line. The door unhooking line is connected to at least one undercarriage service line while the undercarriage unhooking line is connected to at least one door service line, the circuit also including means for connecting the door service lines together during a door opening stage, and means for connecting the undercarriage service lines together during an undercarriage deployment stage.

  • Patent number: 8136760
    Abstract: The invention relates to an architecture for a hydraulic system for operating the landing gear of an aircraft including at least one pressure source and at least one hydraulic return, the system having a hydraulic circuit comprising a first hydraulic line that, when pressurized, causes the landing gear to be lowered, and a second hydraulic line that, when pressurized, causes the landing gear to be raised, said lines being selectively pressurized by means of a hydraulic distribution member comprising at least an isolation valve and a selector for putting one of the lines into communication with pressure and the other line into communication with return.
