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.
