Structural and Droptest Analysis of Helicopter Landing Skids

Abstract

Landing skids of Helicopter are directly attached to the helicopter structure. These skids should be able to withstand buckling of struts, stresses &strains. So in the current study, we will consider a Composite material, High strength steel alloy, Aluminum alloy, for the structure and perform structural analysis and drop tests to study which material can perform satisfactorily under normal lending conditions. Helicopter skids are modeled based on the design of an Ultra Light Helicopter.
