Abstract
A landing gear assembly having a first part movable relative to a second part, and a spring coupled to the first and second parts via first and second anchor points. A lost motion assembly is provided to enable one of the anchor points to translate along one of the parts. As such, the spring extends less as the first part moves relative to the second part than it would if each anchor point was fixed to a respective part.
