ABSTRACT:
An aircraft landing gear assembly which is to be movable from a retracted position within the fuselage of the aircraft to a position extended outwardly from the fuselage of the aircraft. The landing gear assembly includes a main supporting strut leg assembly to which is pivotly secured a wheel lever assembly. The tire assembly is pivotly mounted upon the free end of the wheel lever assembly about an axis which is angularly disposed with respect to the longitudinal center axis of the tire assembly. A linkage assembly connects with the tire assembly to plane the tire to a different angular position with the landing gear assembly in the retracted position. A side brace assembly, to provide lateral support, is piovtly interconnected between the strut leg assembly and the aircraft. The side brace assembly comprises a pair of members which are foldable upon themselves when the landing gear is retracted. The side brace assembly includes a jury strut which functions to lock the side brace assembly with the landing gear in the extended position.
