ABSTRACT:
A nose landing gear assembly on an airplane with a front fuselage section having a wheel bay defined therein and a pair of laterally spaced side compartments defined therein on each side of the wheel bay by respective laterally spaced side walls. A nose landing gear is mounted on the fuselage section for pivotal lifting and lowering movement into and out of the wheel bay. The nose landing gear assembly includes an actuator disposed in one of the side compartments for lifting the nose landing gear into and lowering the nose landing gear out of the wheel bay, and a steering device disposed in the other of the side compartments for steering the nose landing gear while the airplane is taxiing. Since the actuator and the steering device are concealed in the respective side compartments, they are protected from foreign-object damage. The nose landing gear assembly allows the airplane cabin to have increased space because the actuator and the steering device are positioned laterally of the nose landing gear.
