Anti-rotation interlocking inboard and outboard wheel components
DRIVE
October 10, 2012
Relative rotation between an inboard and an outboard wheel component (12,14) of an aircraft wheel assembly is inhibited by an interlocking tongue and groove interface (50). In one example, an aircraft wheel includes a first annular component, a second annular component separable from the first annular component, and at least one tongue and groove interface between the first component and the second component. The second annular component is connected to and aligned with the first component about an axis of rotation of the wheel. The at least one tongue and groove interface is configured to inhibit relative rotation between the first component and the second component about the axis of rotation of the wheel.
