  • Patent number: 9272792
    Abstract: A mechanical position indicator for providing a visual indication that a first part of an aircraft landing gear has assumed a predetermined position relative to a second part, the position indicator being arranged to be coupled to a first one of the first and second parts and in a first state arranged to hold an indicator element in a deployed position, the position indicator being arranged such that upon the first part assuming the predetermined position relative to the second part, a second one of the first and second parts changes the position indicator from the first state to a second state in which the indicator element is displaced from the deployed position, the position indicator being arranged to inhibit the indicator element thereafter returning to the deployed position.

  • Patent number: 9174727
    Abstract: A landing gear assembly for an aircraft, the landing gear assembly including: an elongate bogie beam; a first axle bearing having an outer part rotatably coupled to an inner part, the outer part being coupled to the bogie beam, the inner part including a mounting aperture; and an elongate axle provided through the mounting aperture of the inner part and coupled thereto, wherein the axle is coupled to the inner part of the first axle bearing in a configuration such that the longitudinal axis of the axle is spaced from the axis of rotation of the inner part, such that rotation of the inner part causes a change in the orientation of the axle relative to the bogie beam.
