E. Shocks are absorbed by the flow of hydraulic fluid through the annular space between the orifice and the tapered metering pin. As the shock strut is compressed, oil flows through the orifice and the movement of the tapered metering pin through the orifice progressively varies the area of the annular space between orifice and pin. The variation in area results in an adjusted rate of hydraulic flow from the inner cylinder chamber to the upper side of the piston, thus providing uniform control of the impact loads on the airplane structure when landing. Landing and taxi shocks are also cushioned by the increasing volume of hydraulic fluid above the piston further compressing the volume of compressed air or nitrogen in the upper end of the outer cylinder. As the shock strut extends, there is a reversal of flow through the orifice. The hydraulic fluid now being forced from the upper to the lower side of the piston must pass through the space around the metering pin, and through holes in the orifice support tube. Also, fluid in the annular space between the inner and outer cylinders is forced through the snubber valve restriction, and through the upper bearing into the upper chamber. The resulting resistance to hydraulic flow dampens the return movement of the shock strut.
4. Main Gear Drag Strut
A. The main gear drag strut stabilizes the shock strut in a fore and aft direction. The drag strut is in two parts. The upper drag strut is attached to a lug on the trunnion link at the top end, and to the lower drag strut at the bottom end. The lower drag strut is connected to the upper torsion link lugs on the outer cylinder, and to the side strut universal attachment on the shock strut (Fig. 1). A special shear bolt is used for the upper attachment to minimize damage to structure should landing gear receive a severe impact from the front. Clamps and attachments on the drag strut support linkage for the shock strut door.

5. Main Gear Torsion Links
A. The main gear torsion links prevent rotation between shock strut inner and outer cylinders without affecting the reciprocating action during normal operation of strut. The upper torsion link and bottom attachment of the lower drag strut share the same lugs on the shock strut outer cylinder. The lower torsion link is connected to lugs on the inner cylinder. (See figure 2.) Upper and lower torsion links are joined at their forward ends by a single bolt.
