The C-5A six-wheel main landing gear bogie, as the result of a high flotation requirement, poses a problem for designing a wheel braking torque compensating mechanism which stabilizes bogie pitching during braking. For ground operation, the bogie is also required to pitch ±12° with respect to the shock strut. During retraction of the main gear, however, the bogie is required to be at a right angle with the shock strut for the first 60% of the gear travel and then rotate about the pitch pivot with a defined pattern for 85°. To meet these requirements, avoiding weight penalty and complexity, a single braking torque link is used; and the bogie pitching control for on ground and in air operation is simplified to a two-stage pneumatic centering spring cartridge with the utilization of the torque compensating mechanism and a guiding track in the wheel well.
