AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

Abstract landing gear is one of the critical subsystems of an air craft. The need to design landing gear
with minimum weight, minimum volume, high performance, improved life, and reduced life cycle cost
have posed many challenges to landing gear designers and practitioners. Further, it is essential to reduce
the landing gear design and development cycle time while meeting all the regulatory and safety
requirements. Many technologies have been developed over the years to meet these challenges in
design and development, current technology landscape and how these technologies are helping us to
meet the challenges involved in the development of landing gear and how they are going to evolve in
future.
