Abstract
A shock strut assembly may comprise a strut cylinder and a strut piston configured to telescope relative to the strut cylinder. A torque link may be pivotally coupled to the strut cylinder. A rotational position sensor may be configured to measure an angle of the torque link relative to a plane parallel to a center axis of the strut piston. The rotational position sensor may be oriented such that the rotational position sensor is within a null accuracy band of the rotational position sensor when the strut piston is in a fully compressed state.
