Study Notes

Trunnion Link

The trunnion link connects the shock strut to the wing area of an aircraft.
It transmits landing gear shock loads from the drag strut to the aircraft structure.
The trunnion link has both forward and aft hinge points, allowing for the retraction of the main gear.
The trunnion fork is located at the aft end of the trunnion link and connects to the shock strut.
