Prosiłbym o pomoc w jeszcze jednym tłumaczeniu, jakieś wskazówki
To support the lower leg against the forces of friction, a fore stay or drag strut is fitted, as in the
left picture of diagram 7.29. To prevent the undercarriage from collapsing sideways, a side stay
is fitted. As the gear has to retract sideways into the wheel bay, the side stay is articulated. In the
left undercarriage of diagram 7.29, the side stay is held locked up and down by hook locks. This
is not always the case, as in the right undercarriage of the diagram, where a geometric locking
mechanism is used for the side stay.
