A shimmy damper assembly may comprise: a damper piston including a piston head, the piston head comprising a first permanent magnet, a shimmy cylinder including a second permanent magnet disposed on an axial surface of the shimmy cylinder, and a gland nut coupled to the shimmy cylinder, the gland nut including a third permanent magnet spaced apart axially from the second permanent magnet, the piston head disposed between the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet.

Self-sustaining shimmy damper system for landing gear shock strut assemblies

A system for reducing a temperature of a braking assembly includes the braking assembly of a wheel assembly, an airflow amplifier, and a conduit. The braking assembly may include a plurality of friction disks. The airflow amplifier may be coupled to the wheel assembly, and the conduit may extend from a compressed gas source to the airflow amplifier. Generally, the airflow amplifier is configured to entrain ambient air ('entrained air') in response to compressed gas from the compressed gas source flowing to the airflow amplifier via the conduit, according to various embodiments. The airflow amplifier may be configured to direct the entrained air and the compressed gas to the braking assembly to reduce the temperature of the braking assembly.
