C-5A Main Landing Gear Bogie Pitching Control

Journal of Aircraft, 1970
The C-5A six-wheel main landing gear bogie, as the result of a high flotation requirement, poses a problem for designing a wheel braking torque compensating mechanism which stabilizes bogie pitching during braking. For ground operation, the bogie is also required to pitch ±12° with respect to the shock strut. During retraction of the main gear, however,

Rotational Drop-Testing of Airplane Main Landing Gear

Journal of Fluids Engineering, 1946
Abstract The immediate physical objectives of drop-testing are presented, together with a general method for conducting rotational tests that have proper contact velocity and energy relationships coincidental with the absence of undesirable dynamic reactions at the pivot axis.

Failure analysis of aircraft main landing gear cylinder support

Engineering Failure Analysis, 2021
Abstract The main concern in aircraft structures is flight safety. One of the constraints to consider when designing safe aircraft parts is weight. The design of the landing gear structures is difficult because it must ensure flight safety without adding excessive weight. During takeoff, the main landing gear of a cargo plane did not retract.

Aerodynamic Characteristics of the Aircraft Main Landing Gear System

Advances in Engineering Technology Research
As one of the most structurally complex and load-bearing components, the main landing gear (MLG) system experiences substantial aerodynamic loads during aircraft takeoff, landing, and retraction/extension sequences. Its aerodynamic characteristics profoundly impact the reliability of the retraction/extension mechanism and the structural fatigue life of

Failure of a Main Landing Gear on a Light Airplane

2019
Abstract Initial investigation showed that a landing gear failure was the result of a hard landing with no evidence of contributory factors. The objective of reexamination was to determine whether there was any evidence of metallurgical failure.

Cracking in an Aircraft Main Landing Gear Sliding Strut

1993
Abstract Examination of several fighter aircraft main landing gear legs revealed unusual cracking in the hard chromium plating that covered the sliding section of the inner strut. The cracking was associated with cracks in the 35 NCD 16 steel beneath the plating.

The noise generation by a main landing gear door [PDF]

, 2016
Experimental measurements and numerical simulations were conducted on a simplified main landing gear model that consists of a leg-door, and a main strut in a parallel configuration. The effects of varying the leg-door angle of attack, and the gap distance between the two elements, were initially studied by two-dimensional and low-order numerical ...
