AndyJWest Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Can't help you with the book, I'm afraid. All I can say is be prepared for some head-scratching if anyone asks about the geometry of the top pivot. Nothing is a right-angles to anything else - the wheel has to go backwards as well as inwards and upwards to fit into the wing behind the spar, which results in the wheel being slightly twisted relative to the chord line when retracted.

AndyJWest Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) As far as I'm aware, it is a standard oleo strut mechanism. Useful article - see p. 14: http://personal.mecheng.adelaide.edu.au/maziar.arjomandi/Aeronautical%20Engineering%20Projects/2006/group11.pdf Edited October 17, 2013 by AndyJWest
AndyJWest Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 No dihedral? Though I'm not sure why that would matter. Or did you forget to allow for the oleo extending when the weight came off the wheel?
