Landing Gear
Posts related to the landing gear and landing gear systems.
Hydraulics are a critical system on almost all modern aircraft. Light aircraft primarily make use of hydraulics to transmit braking forces from the cockpit to the brake disk or drum.
The landing gear, or undercarriage, has two primary requirements: to support the aircraft while on the ground and to absorb the large landing loads.
All modern aircraft are fitted with a braking system to assist in slowing and stopping when on the ground.
Aircraft wheels and tires are designed to support the full weight of that aircraft while on the ground, and the static and dynamic loads generated during taxi, take-off and landing.
