Abstract: A retractable fuselage mounted landing gear assembly is disclosed. The landing gear assembly includes a main strut, a drag stay and a landing gear main fitting. A first end of the drag stay is attached to the main strut and a second end of the drag stay is connected to the fuselage. A first end of the landing main fitting is attached to the main strut and a second end of the main fitting is connected to the fuselage. When the landing gear is extended, substantially all the landing gear loads are transferred from the landing gear to the fuselage via one or more of the drag stay and the main fitting.

Abstract: There is described a gasket for a valve of an internal combustion engine; this gasket has a central axis and comprises: an elastically deformable annular seal element; a support member made of plastic material, also annular and having at least a retention portion coupled coaxially on a first portion of the seal element to press it on a guide element of the valve; and elastic means acting on a second portion of the seal element to press it on a stem of the valve; the elastic means comprise a thrust portion of the support member made in one single piece with the retention portion; the seal element is formed by means of an injection molding operation in a molding chamber containing the support member.

Abstract: A gasket for a valve of an internal combustion engine is described. The valve has a guide element defining a through seat, and a stem movable in a sliding manner in said seat. The gasket has a central axis and comprises: an elastically deformable sealing element, having an annular configuration with respect to the axis and suitable to be arranged externally on the valve to cooperate both with the guide element and with the stem; a supporting member having an annular configuration, arranged coaxially on at least part of the sealing element so that the latter is pressed radially between the supporting member and the valve; an end flange projecting radially outwards from the supporting member and configured to receive the elastic load of a coil spring of the valve; and protruding means distinct from the flange, projecting outwards from the supporting member and suitable to cooperate with the spring of the valve to maintain it coaxial with the axis.
