Patent ID: 7731124

Claim:
An aircraft, comprising an aircraft landing gear, the aircraft landing gear comprising: an arm, an actuator arranged to rotate the arm, a stop for limiting rotary movement of the arm during takeoff and landing of the aircraft, a leg on which the arm is rotatably mounted, and a bogie at a lower end of the leg, the bogie being moveable in a direction along a length of the leg and pivotable between a trimmed deployed position and a stowable position, wherein movement of the bogie between the trimmed deployed position and the stowable position is associated with rotary movement of the arm, by the actuator, between (i) a first position in which the bogie is positioned in the trimmed deployed position and (ii) a second position in which the bogie is positioned in the stowable position and in which the arm is completely separate from the stop, the landing gear being arranged such that the actuator is able to cause movement of the bogie from the trimmed deployed position to the stowable position, without requiring the actuator to sustain large forces generated on take off and landing of the aircraft; wherein the arm is connected to the bogie via a link; and the link has an extendible length that is fully extended when the bogie is in the trimmed deployed position and the arm is in the first position.
