Patent number: 10766607Abstract: A landing gear is disclosed having a main strut connected at one end to an aircraft via a main joint is disclosed. The landing gear further includes an inboard sidestay assembly connected to the main strut. The inboard sidestay assembly includes a forward stay connected at one end to the aircraft, a rear stay connected at one end to the fuselage, and a shear web extending between the forward stay and the rear stay and configured to resist movement of the forward stay relative to the rear stay. The landing gear is arranged such that when the landing gear is extended substantially all the landing gear loads are transferred from the landing gear to the aircraft via one or more of the main joint, the forward stay and the rear stay.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS LIMITEDInventors: Nebojsa Sakota, Norman Wijker

Patent number: 7941905Abstract: A device for facilitating the removal of a component from an aircraft includes a mounting member, a guide member and a handle. The mounting member provides an attachment portion for attaching the device to the aircraft. The guide member includes a support portion for receipt of the component to be removed and is pivotally mounted to the mounting member so that, when the component is being supported by the support portion in use, the support portion moves pivotally away from the aircraft along a predefined path. The handle is operatively associated with the guide member for assisting in the pivotal movement of the guide member.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2006Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Airbus Operations LimitedInventors: Philip Henry Garland, Nebojsa Sakota
