Introduction. The design and positioning of the landing gear are determined by the unique characteristics associated with each aircraft, i.e., geometry, weight, and mission requirements. Given the weight and cg range of the aircraft, suitable configurations are identified and reviewed to determine how well they match the airframe structure, ...
When it comes to measuring the tail clearance for take off and landing, there are typically two angles that can be measured: the static tail clearance with fully loaded landing gear and the fully extended tail clearance that describes the situation at lift off when the last part of the landing gear leaves the ground (Fig. 12.4.).
17 maj 2022 · The landing gear, or undercarriage, has two primary requirements: (1) to support the aircraft while on the ground and (2) to absorb the large loads associated with landing, and transfer these from the wheels to the aircraft’s primary structure.
The two most important examples are: • Strength: ground loads are usually responsible for dimensioning load cases on major parts of the airframe such as rear fuselage, wing root and center section. • Weight: the landing gear system can weight up to 8% of the overall aircraft weight.
Preliminary calculation of the landing gear includes estimating the loads on landing and determining the position of the nose landing gear and the main landing gear of a military training aircraft.
The paper will start with a classification of typical problems, give a short overview of classical papers, and explain typical approaches. In addition, alternative approaches for stability analysis and for the detection of LCOs as well as state-olf-the-art modelling approaches will be presented.
