LANDING GEAR DESIGN.

[sharpedge]

Hi ya,
Could any help with any information on how to calculate the forces acting on landing gear for large aircrafts and also how to size the Oleo (internal and external) and tires.

Many thanks.

Hi Sharpedge :

Another source,is "Landing Gear Design for light Air-
planes" by Ladislao Pazmani.

May be useful for your purpose.

Look at FAR25, starting at 25.471. The required loading conditions are all spelled out.

Additional loads may be imposed by the OEM.
