Zusammenfassung:
This paper is aimed at evaluating the advantages of constructing some landing gear parts from carbon fiber composite materials. Even though fiber composite structures are more and more used in aviation and space applications, since the composite materials offer the advantages of high strength and stiffness at low weight, no composite structure is easy to find in a landing gear of an aircraft or helicopter. It is mainly due to the particular geometry of a landing gear and applied high concentrated loads. The present paper describes the main concepts used to design, fabricate some C.F.R.P. landing gear components, giving evidence of results of tests performed. The aim was to demonstrate the applicability of composite materials to landing structures with the objective to reduce weight in comparison to the equivalent metal parts.
