Abstract

956,042. Aircraft undercarriages. HAWKER SIDDELEY AVIATION Ltd. March 22, 1962 [June 26, 1961], No. 23054/61. Heading B7G. An aircraft undercarriage has a pair of wheels 11, 13, which are side-by-side when the undercarriage is extended, and which retract so that one wheel 11 rises substantially in a vertical plane keeping parallel to itself, while the other wheel 13 simultaneously turns about a fore-andaft axis 16 into a stowed position 21 wherein it lies at an angle to the plane of the wheel 11. In Fig. 1, a jack 19 is operable to retract wheel 11 about a transverse axis 15, and simultaneous retraction of wheel 13 is effected by a link 18 ball jointed at one end to leg 12 of wheel 11 and at its other end to leg 14 of wheel 13. A fairing 23 closes the retraction aperture. By this means, deep wheel bays and blisters on the fuselage are avoided, even when large tyres are used for operation on unprepared airfield strips. A second pair of wheels is provided in tandem with the wheels shown, on each side of the fuselage.
