Right
Main landing gear, inside. Front trunnion. The rear
trunnion looks like the same assembly, but is turned 180 degrees.
Both pivot at the bottom of the main strut.
The rear
trunnion fork fits on the inner side of the strut and in between the
two forks of the strut, the front trunnion fork fits on the outer side
of the strut and in the middle of the strut also.
The oleo
cylinder attaches to the aft trunnion and then up to the equalizer
arms, the front trunnion has a link from the trunnion to the
front of the equalizer.
Had to be designed by the same guys who did the B-58 landing gear.
