A landing gear system for an aircraft includes a drag brace, a lateral brace, and a support assembly, the support assembly coupled to: a lateral side of the fuselage via the lateral brace, an upper portion of the fuselage via a hinge, and a forward portion of the fuselage via the drag...
All landing gear configurations consist of a set of main wheels, designed to absorb the brunt of the landing load, and auxiliary wheels used to support the aircraft while on the ground. Whatever the configuration, the main wheels are larger, stronger, and located near the aircraft center of ...
Regardless of the landing gear type, brakes, shock-absorbing equipment, retraction mechanisms, warning devices, controls, fairings, cowlings and structural members are all considered landing gear components within a configuration.The Essential Types of Landing Gear Landing gear configurations usually come ...
An understanding of landing-gear configurations is critical in determining the loading transmission from the load of the aircraft to the pavement. Different number of wheels and their distribution should be designed to control a reasonable range of impacts on the pavement [4]. Therefore, specification...
AAM vehicles utilize distinct landing gear configurations compared to traditional airplanes. This necessitates the development of specialized landing gear systems to cater to their unique operational needs. The AAM industry heavily relies on continuous innovation to improve the efficiency, safety, and ...
An experimental program was initiated to determine the noise radiation from landing gear/wheel well configurations of large commercial aircraft. Scale models of typical nose gear and main gear (synthesized from different type aircraft) were exposed to flow of typical landing approach speeds (up to 6...
1. A self-orienting aircraft landing gear, comprising: a landing gear assembly; a wheel rotatably coupled to a wheel fork wherein the wheel fork is coupled to the landing gear assembly by a cylindrical shaft such that the wheel fork is operable to caster about a longitudinal axis of the ...

The landing gear enables the aircraft to takeoff and land in water, snow, hard surface, and sod or undeveloped runways without changing gear components and is completely retractable. All three of the aiplane's landing configurations are selectable by the pilot while in flight. The new ...
