| Summary: | The following disclosure relates generally to aircraft landing gear assemblies and, more particularly, to aircraft landing gear assemblies having multiple deployed static positions for accommodating different aircraft configurations.
Aircraft landing gear assemblies having multiple deployed static positions. In one embodiment, a landing gear assembly usable with a wing includes a wheel truck and a strut having a first strut end and a second strut end. The first strut end is configured to be pivotally connected to the wing, and the second strut end is configured to be pivotally connected to the wheel truck. In one aspect of this embodiment, the strut is configured to be connected to a first brace extending between the strut and the wing for positioning the wheel truck in a first deployed static position. In another aspect of this embodiment, the strut is further configured to be connected to a second brace extending between the strut and the wing for positioning the wheel truck in a second deployed static position different than the first deployed static position. |
