The objective of the development program for the monolithic CFC Main Landing Gear Door (MLGD) is to produce fifteen lefthand CFC (Carbon Fiber Composite) MLGD's for long term in service testing on German air force Tornados to build up experience for the future European Fighter Aircraft (EFA). The CFC MLGD is designed with an internal spar-stringer structure covered by two skins and all these structural elements are made from Narmco 5245C/T800. The design and manufacturing work on the CFC MLGD are addressed and an outlook on the airworthiness testing and the planned in service test program is presented.
