Torsion links are alloy frames which couple the inner and outer cylinders of a landing gear strut together. They prevent the torsional or 'twisting' motion of the strut on landing and also alow controlled compression of the gear piston once the full body weight of the aircraft has been applied.

How does electrical landing gear work?
Electrical landing gear operates using electric motors and actuators to deploy and retract the landing gear of an aircraft. When the pilot activates the landing gear control, an electrical signal triggers the motors, which move the gear into position. This system is often preferred for its reliability and reduced weight compared to hydraulic systems. Additionally, electrical landing gear can offer more precise control and easier maintenance.
Why is landing gear called landing gear?
Attached to a gear are many tires. The tires are used the land the aeroplane. That is why it is called landing gear.
How far from an airport should aircraft wheels be down?

Where is landing gear actuator located in aircraft?
On the Landing gear
What is the landing gear on a helicopter called?
It is just called 'landing gear'

What does the touchdown relay do on the c 130?
The touchdown relay on the C-130 aircraft is an essential component of the landing gear system. It serves to monitor and confirm that the landing gear is fully extended and locked in place before landing. This safety feature ensures that the pilot receives accurate feedback on the gear status, helping to prevent accidents during landing. If the landing gear is not properly deployed, the relay can trigger warning indicators in the cockpit.
Types of landing gear?
1-tricycle gear 2-conventional gear 3-unconventional gear 4-tail wheel landing gear
How many landing gear must deploy to land?
All of the landing gear on the particular aircraft.
Explain aircraft landing gear systems?
It is the system of wheels that opens before an airplane lands and closes after take off. The system also supports the aircraft while on the ground, taxiing or landing.
How big are the wheels on a Boeing 767?
A Boeing 767 aircraft has a total of 10 wheels. Two on the front landing gear, 4 on each of the two main landing gear.
What are the applications of an aircraft landing gear system?
Uhh...keeping airplanes from lying on the ground when they're not flying?
