Abstract
A landing gear assembly for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is described. The landing gear assembly includes a mounting block assembly adapted to mount to a structural frame of a fuselage of the UAV, a shared shock assembly including a spring adapted to provide a spring force and a damper adapted to dampen oscillations of the spring, a pair of leg members extending out from the mounting block assembly, and a pair of pivot blocks each pivotally mounted to the mounting block assembly. The pivot blocks are rigidly connected to a corresponding one of the leg members and pivotally connected to one of opposing ends of the shared shock assembly. The leg members are each connected to a ground gear. An upward suspension travel of one or both of the ground gears rotates one or both of the pivot blocks, thereby compressing the spring.
