Abstract

See full text

Nose landing gear arrangements for aircrafts, aircrafts including such nose landing gear arrangements, and methods for making such nose landing gear arrangements are provided. In one example, a nose landing gear arrangement includes a wheel assembly and a main strut. The main strut is operatively coupled to the wheel assembly and is configured to move between an extended position and a retracted position. The main strut in the extended position extends outside of the fuselage substantially along a generally vertical plane to position the wheel assembly for takeoff and/or landing of the aircraft. The main strut in the retracted position is disposed inside the fuselage. A flexible sheet is disposed adjacent to the main strut and is configured such that when the main strut is in the extended position the flexible sheet is positioned substantially around the main strut.
