This investigation was intended to throw light on a number of problems: 1) obtain a time history of the force acting on the gear wheels during take-off and landing runs; 2) obtain the time history of the direction of this force (magnitude of its three components along the coordinate axes); 3) derive conclusions as to the design load factors. In connection with the latter, of special interest was the solution of such problems as: a) the dynamic loads in the three main landing attitudes; b) the problem of the true direction of the forces for each of the three "pure" types of landing; c) combination of the above types; d) the comparison for each of the chassis members of the computed force (according to the design standards) with the actual force measured in the tests so as to determine the actual factors of safety.
