Scope
Verification of landing gear design strength is accomplished by dynamic and static test programs. This is essentially a verification of the analytical procedures used to design the gear. An industry survey was recently conducted to determine just what analysis and testing are currently being applied to landing gear. Timing in relation to first flight of new aircraft was also questioned. Opinions were solicited from designers of the following categories and/or types of aircraft:
-
a
Military - Large Land Based (Bomber)
-
b
Military - Small Land Based (Fighter)
-
c
Military - Carrier Based (Navy)
-
d
Military - Helicopter (Large)
-
e
Military - Helicopter (Small-attack)
-
f
Commercial - Large (Airliner)
-
g
Commercial - Small (Business)
-
h
USAF (WPAFB) - Recommendations
It is the objective of this AIR to present a summary of these responses. It is hoped that this summary will be useful to designers as a guide and/or check list in establishing criteria for landing gear analysis and test.
Rationale
This document has been reaffirmed to comply with the SAE 5-Year Review policy.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
