The landing gear system is a major airframe system that needs to be integrated very
efficiently to minimize the penalties of weight, cost, dispatch reliability and maintenance. As
the landing gear system business develops and large scale teaming arrangements and
acquisitions become increasingly common, it may be desirable in some instances to procure
an Integrated Landing Gear System. This document provides guidelines and useful
references for developing an integrated landing gear system for an aircraft and is divided
into four sections:
Landing Gear Configuration Requirements (Section 3)
Landing Gear Functional Requirements (Section 4)
Landing Gear System Integrity Requirements (Section 5)
Landing Gear Program Requirements (Section 6)
The landing gear system encompasses all landing gear structural and subsystem elements.
Structural elements include shock struts, braces, fittings, pins, wheels, tires and brakes. The
subsystem elements include the retraction/extension system (both normal and alternate),
the steering system, the braking system (both normal and alternate, manual and automatic),
the indication systems and control systems (mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and electronic).
1.1 Purpose:
The purpose of this document is to provide an airframe manufacturer or procuring agency
with a framework from which a specification for an Integrated Landing Gear System may
be developed and to provide guidance in the development of an integrated landing gear
system. This document is not intended to be an all inclusive detail design document or to
duplicate other existing SAE landing gear documents. Rather, the intent is to provide
guidance in writing and managing the top-level integration requirements.
1.2 Field of Application:
In the past, it has been common for airframe manufacturers to procure the landing gear
and its associated systems as separate elements, and to integrate these elements into the
overall aircraft design. Using this approach, the airframe manufacturers have written
separate specifications for each element and have assembled the landing gear from
components delivered separately by different suppliers. In some instances the landing
gear supplier simply performs the assembly work and delivers a “dressed gear” that has
been built up from components procured by the airframer. In other instances, the airframe
manufacturer subcontracts the design of the landing gear, including the specification and
procurement of the associated systems, to an integrator. This document includes landing
gear systems for both small and large, commercial and military aircraft as well as
helicopters.strRefField
