ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an aircraft landing gear assembly comprising a shock strut and three-wheel truck depending therefrom. The truck comprises a rigid, U-shaped frame including two parallel side beams spaced apart on opposite sides of the strut and interconnected at their forward ends by a downwardly offset end beam in the form of a torque tube. Two coaxial forward wheels are mounted outboard of and on opposite sides of the forward end of the truck. An aft wheel is mounted on an axle rigidly interconnecting the aft ends of the side beams. The lower end of the shock strut is disposed between the forward ends of the side beams and includes two rearwardly diverging arms, the divergent ends of which are connected to the side beams in such a manner that the truck is rotatable about an axis passing through the connection points between the arms and the side beams.
