Title: An aircraft landing gear arrangement
Inventor: HENRY EDWARDS
IPC: B64C25/16
Filed: 2018-08-22
Abstract: An aircraft landing gear system arrangement with a landing gear bay 123; a wheeled landing gear leg 131, moveable between an extended and retracted position; and an airbag 200a,200b attached inside the bay which is inflated when the leg is extended to close off the bay (fig.2). Preferably, an external surface 201 of the airbag is flush with an external surface 122 of the aircraft body when inflated. The airbag may have a number of plates 207a,207b,207c attached to an internal or external face of a flexible material, which move relative to one another as the airbag inflates to provide a plate surface 201. The airbag may have a number of bladders (fig.3,202,203) attached to one another which can be inflated and deflated independently. This may allow the airbag to have a second inflated configuration when the leg in retracted to seal the gap between the bay and the wheel (fig.1). The airbag may be attached to a side wall 125,126 of the bay, and may have a bellow arrangement of expandable supports, or other structural components (fig.4,205a,205b,205c,205d) such as straps, webbing, or tension springs which limit the expansion of the airbag to define its shape.
