Aircraft Landing and Handling Analysis

 
  • The loading conditions on the landing gear of a large passenger aircraft needed to be investigated.

  • A model of the aircraft was built and the required landing manoeuvres simulated.

  • The dynamic landing gear forces were then obtained from the model.

  • The same model was also used for aircraft ride and handling studies given different steering inputs and varying runway surface profiles.

Aircraft Landing Gear Retraction Analysis

 
  • Prior to building of a test rig and prototype landing gear, an ADAMS model of the mechanism was built.

  • Forces or motions were applied at the actuator locations.

  • The operational mechanism forces and motion were investigated.
