During the different phases of development from feasibility studies to the final design, the landing gear designer applies increasingly refined methods of analysis to derive the loads to which the system is designed. Future design procedures should reflect such a staged approach leading to designs which are fully optimized with the aid of rational methods of analysis to meet the complete range of aircraft operating conditions. Here, the design process is described. Comparisons are made of design load cases obtained using current landing gear requirements and those derived by rational analysis. These comparisons are made for the critical phases of landing touchdown, derotation onto the nosegear, landing roll out, repaired runway operation, etc. The application of the rational method of analysis to determining aircraft operating envelopes under asymmetric landing conditions is also discussed. Finally areas of work are identified which need addressing further, in order that a staged approach can be adopted completely in the future military landing gear design procedures.
