ABSTRACT:
A wheel protector for protecting a demounted aircraft wheel 54 and its bearing sets 56.1, 56.2 comprises an inboard cover disc 10, and an outboard cover disc 12. An axially outwardly extending part 18 of the inboard cover disc slopes at an angle radially inwardly so as to form a deflecting surface for objects approaching the cover disc in a radial direction. The inboard cover disc has flutings 28 which form between them recesses for accommodating the brake lugs of an aircraft wheel. When in position, the inboard cover disc also protects the heat shields which are located between the brake lugs. A ridge formation 38 serves to locate a pair of wheels against sliding relative to one another when stacked. Foam pads 32.1, 32.2, 33, 40 and 41 are provided where the cover discs contact the wheel or its bearing sets.
