Abstract
A survey of the most advanced design tools and procedures applied to landing gear development is performed. This survey mainly focuses on computer-aided design (CAD) methods as used for kinematics and loads definition, performances simulation, solid modeling, and finite-element analysis. However, two other procedures are also considered, i.e., failure and reliability analysis and value analysis. It is shown how the use of these new design procedures is the only way to achieve a thorough optimization of a modern and competitive landing gear coping with stringent requirements in such different areas as kinematics, weight, safety, service life, maintainability and cost effectiveness.
