Abstract
A method of engaging a drive system with a rotating wheel of an aircraft landing gear is disclosed. A motor is operated to rotate a pinion which is moved from a neutral position to a contact position in which it contacts a rotating driven gear at an initial contact time, the rotating driven gear being mounted to a rotating wheel of an aircraft landing gear; then after the initial contact time moving the pinion further to a meshing position where the pinion meshes with the driven gear. A center-to-center distance between the pinion and the driven gear reduces as the pinion moves to the contact position and to the meshing position. The driven gear has Nteeth or rollers, the pinion has Nteeth or rollers which mesh with the teeth or rollers of the driven gear when the pinion is at the meshing position.
