Preliminary Estimation Methods for the Definition of the Landing Gear

Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 3

Abstract

The landing gear of an aircraft is an important part of the aircraft structure. The landing and the taking off are most critical parts of a flight mission. The main goal of this paper is to provide a methodology for designing and sizing the landing gear taking into account its main three functions: to ensure the taxiing during the take-off and to ensure both the dynamic contact with the ground during landing and the taxiing required until the aircraft loses speed. This paper continues our concerns about different aspects of the complex landing phenomena. The landing gear is the component that will likely cause many problems in the aircraft design. Its design combines the best in mechanical, structural and hydraulic design. The designed landing gear should be able to meet the specifications and requirements imposed for example by CS23.
