Systems and methods disclosed herein may be useful for improved torque tubes. In this regard, an apparatus is provided comprising a torque tube having an axis, a proximal terminus and a distal back leg, a first spline circumferentially disposed on the torque tube, a second spline circumferentially disposed on the torque tube, the first spline extending from a first location proximal to the distal back leg to a first terminal point, and the second spline extending from a second location proximal to the distal hack leg to a second terminal point, the second terminal point being distal to the first terminal point.

Systems and methods for an improved torque tube

A wheel and brake assembly () having a torque bar () supported at a mid-span location. The torque bar () can be pre-loaded at a mid-span location. The pre-load can be effected by a spacer block () that is interposed between the wheel well and the torque bar (). The method and device of the present invention can be used with existing wheel and brake assemblies. The spacer block can be a two-part spacer block.
