Abstract

The Aircraft Landing Gear supports the entire weight of the Aircraft during Landing and ground operations. They are attached to primary structural members of the aircraft. The type of gear depends on the aircraft design and its intended use. Most landing Gear have wheels to facilitate operation to and from hard surfaces, such as airport runways. Our project mainly aims in designing and analysis of Landing gear Axle for 1.25 tonne, SWIFT type, UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), this project was conducted under the guidance of DRDO (Defense Research and Development organization). Other Gear feature skids for this purpose, such as those found on Helicopters, Balloon gondolas and in the tail area of some tail dragger aircraft. In the design and analysis of landing gear axle, the wheels of the aircraft are attached to the bearings which are in turn attached to the axle, when in turn supports the entire wheel system and absorbs the impact while touching the ground. These are being designed according to FAR23 regulations. Aircrafts that operate to and from frozen lakes and snowy areas may be equipped with landing gear that have skid, aircrafts that operate to and from the surface of water have pontoon type landing gear. This landing gear axle can be used in all types of aircrafts regardless of the landing gear, shock absorbing equipment, brakes, retraction mechanism, control, warning devices, cowling, fairings Structural members used.
