oleo strut

Oleo struts have been in use for many decades.

An oleo strut absorbs this energy, reducing bounce.

The editor was listed as Oleo Strut.

Pneumatic systems like the oleo strut generally have long operating lives, and the construction is not unusually complex for maintenance purposes.

Early Citabrias were fitted with steel tube main gear which use an oleo strut for shock absorption.

At the Oleo Strut there was an office that they worked in that had a printer who would do printing for the soldiers.

Cindi Thomas says she tried hard to rent the same building that housed the Oleo Strut but it wasn’t to be.

It featured a conventional landing gear configuration, with shock absorption in the main gear provided by oleo struts, 7200 built.

An oleo strut is a pneumatic air-oil hydraulic shock absorber used on the landing gear of most large aircraft and many smaller ones.

The nosewheel is connected to the engine mount and has an oleo strut to dampen and absorb normal operating loads.

The fixed tail-wheel undercarriage, sprung with oleo struts and faired triangular side members hinged at the fuselage.

In 2009, the tradition of The Oleo Strut continued when the Under the Hood Café opened.

Like its namesake, a shock absorber in helicopter landing gear, the Oleo Strut's purpose was to help GIs land softly.

On some versions of the Fw 190 an extended oleo strut could be fitted for larger-sized loads (such as bombs or even a torpedo) beneath the fuselage.

To do this, Rethel placed the main oleo strut inside a larger tube that was mounted to the pivot point on the lower leading edge of the box-spar.

The main landing gear was sprung with oleo struts, and a castoring tailwheel was fitted on all versions except the VN model, which had a nosewheel.

Only when the left gear touched the runway did the ground spoilers and engine thrust reversers start to deploy, these systems depending on oleo strut (shock absorber) compression.

The landing gear of the Chief is in a conventional arrangement, with steel tube main gear which use an oleo strut for shock absorption, and a steerable tailwheel.

Under the Hood Cafe describes itself as being part of the tradition of The Oleo Strut, a famous GI coffee house during the Vietnam war.

The aircraft had arrived at Providenciales when the pilot noticed that the left Main Landing Gear (MLG) oleo strut was leaking oil.

The High Drive motors were on the outriggers where the oleo struts damped their vibration somewhat, but the buzz of liftoff and landing came directly through the ship's fabric.

However, a close look at the two aircraft reveals that the Cadet was faster, stronger, and could be operated in a more rugged environment with its Oleo strut/Compression spring suspension system.

In late 1968 Sharlet visited the Oleo Strut, the highly activist GI coffee house, and nearby Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas.

The U.S. Navy finally accepted the F4U for shipboard operations in April 1944, after the longer oleo strut was fitted, which finally eliminated the tendency to bounce.

In the early 1970's the documentary filmmaker David Zeiger worked in one such coffeehouse, the Oleo Strut in Killeen, Tex., not far from Fort Hood.
