    摘要: A landing gear system includes wheel rotatably coupled to an axle. A driveshaft extends through a cavity formed in the axle and is rotatable about an axis. A planetary gear includes a sun gear operably coupled to the drive shaft and a planet gear operably engaging the sun gear. The planetary gear further includes a ring gear that surrounds and is operably coupled to the planet gear so that rotation of the drive shaft rotates the ring gear. A clutch assembly is selectively moveable between an engaged state and a disengaged state. The clutch assembly transfers rotation of the ring gear to the wheel when the clutch assembly is in the engaged state, and the clutch assembly does not transfer rotation of the wheel to the ring gear when the clutch assembly is in the disengaged state.

    摘要: An aircraft landing gear assembly comprising: an axle having an axis, a wheel rotatably mounted on the axle to rotate about the axis, a brake arranged to selectively exert a braking torque on the wheel about the axis, a brake anchor structure having a substantially fixed position relative to the axle, a brake reaction linkage that mechanically couples the brake to the brake anchor structure, and a sensor comprising a sensor element arranged to detect a change in one or more physical properties of a component of the brake reaction linkage in order to determine a stress in the component due to the braking torque, wherein the sensor element does not contact the component.

    摘要: An aircraft assembly, having: a reference component; a first component and a first actuator, the first actuator configured to move the first component relative to the reference component; a second component and a second actuator, the second actuator configured to move the second component relative to the reference component; a position sensor configured to measure a position of the first component, and to output a position value, the sensor being capable of outputting a plurality of non-zero position values; and a controller configured to control the movement of the second component by the second actuator based at least partially on the position value output by the position sensor
