Landing gear
Landing gear
(OP)
I wanted to pick people's brains on if you had the chance to become a dedicated landing gear stress analyst would you? It seems to me that there are not many landing gear "experts" in the industry.
And for veteran landing gear analysts: do you regret the choice as it locked you into a very specialized topic? Or maybe it doesn't really pay well?
I am kind of at that crossroad to become a dedicated landing gear guy. Any input is welcome.

RE: Landing gear
Look, for example, at the number of multiple-dozens of times people in the structural and mechanical forums have asked about impact problems and impact/explosive stresses and deformations. Static analysis? Not easy. Dynamic analysis - especially involving deformation and energy absorption? Very very difficult.
Now, against that very real "market" slightly outside of the landing gear/wheel suspension markets is the size of that total dynamic analysis market, and the question of whether you personally can actually solve the problems analyzing the difficult problems in that market.
RE: Landing gear
You need to consider what the people who designed the B-767 or A-320 landing gear are doing now. That'll give you an idea of what to expect
