The landing gear is summarized. Research relative to tire tread, powered wheel taxiing, air cushion landing systems, and crosswind landing gear is discussed in some detail. An airplane ground-handling simulator was developed to provide a research tool for investigating, in perfect safety, directional control and braking problems of airplanes on slippery runways in the presence of crosswinds. One example of its application is to explore airplane control problems during high speed turnoffs from main runways onto taxiways. The simulation development was performed in a visual-motion simulator. A discussion of some of the significant developments is presented.
