Which component serves as the mounting point for the axles, wheels, and brake assemblies?

• A. Bogie
• B. Strut
• C. Hub assembly
• D. Axle

Answer: (A)

The mounting point for the axles, wheels, and brake assemblies is the bogie. In aircraft landing gear, the bogie is a subframe that attaches to the end of the main gear leg and serves as the structural foundation for wheel assemblies. It provides the mounting points for the wheel axles and the brake units, and it often carries two or more wheels on a shared axle arrangement. The strut is the leg that supports and absorbs impact, the hub assembly is the wheel’s internal component that houses bearings and the brake interface, and the axle is the shaft around which the wheel rotates. The bogie is the component that connects everything together as the mounting frame.
