  • Patent number: 9387623
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an aircraft landing gear rocker beam comprising a body having a clevis (24) with two lugs (19, 21) parallel to a direction that is radial relative to the body, the method comprising the steps of: forming a first mandrel; applying one or more first braided fiber layers (11) on the first mandrel; fitting a second mandrel element on the assembly as constituted in this way, the second mandrel element extending between the two lugs (19, 21) of the clevis (24) that is to be formed; applying one or more second braided fiber layers (17) on the assembly as constituted in this way; injecting resin into the various layers (11, 17) and polymerizing the resin; and machining the resulting workpiece blank in order to cut away a region of the second braided layers (17) in order to separate the two lugs (19, 21) of the clevis (24) from each other.

  • Patent number: 8640823
    Abstract: In the field of aviation, a device for limiting aerodynamic noise from a deployed aircraft undercarriage during landing and/or takeoff. The device comprises two end plates (4a, 4b) for closing respective ends (2a, 2b) of a hollow pin (1) of the undercarriage, such as a hinge pin between two rods of the undercarriage, together with at least one tie (6) for engaging inside the hollow pin (1) to connect the two end plates (4a, 4b) together so as to hold them pressed against the ends (2a, 2b) of the pin (1).
