Landing gear


The landing gear represents the connection between the aircraft and the ground during takeoff, landing, taxiing and parking. The landing gear is a complex kinematic system which experiences extreme load, for example on the impact of landing. The integrated braking systems also need tremendous power in order to hold back a load of hundreds of tonnes. This process generates extremely high temperatures.

In short, every aircraft landing gear is a small feat of engineering. Our specialists have the engineering knowledge needed to achieve this feat, which they put to use in many different tasks from design and FEM analyses to the optimization of movements using MBS and the layout of hydraulic systems. The goal that guides all our services is to work with you to optimize landing gear safety, comfort and weight.
