author of Understanding Flight.
r-455, The Design of
Aircraft Landing Gear
The aircraft landing gear and its associated
systems represent a compelling design
challenge: simultaneously a system, a
structure, and a machine, it supports the
aircraft on the ground, absorbs landing and
braking energy, permits maneuvering, and
retracts to minimize aircraft drag. Yet, as it
is not required during flight, it also
represents dead weight and significant
effort must be made to minimize its total
mass.
The Design of Aircraft Landing Gear,
written by R. Kyle Schmidt, is designed to
guide the reader through the key principles of
landing system design and to provide
additional references when available. Many
problems which must be confronted have
already been addressed by others in the past,
but the information is not known or shared,
leading to the observation that there are few
new problems, but many new people.
This book is intended to share much of
the existing information and provide
avenues for further exploration. The design
of an aircraft and its associated systems,
including the landing system, involves
iterative loops as the impact of each
modification to a system or component is
