Preliminary calculation of the landing gear of a military training aircraft

Abstract

The paper presents a preliminary calculation method, which is easy to apply for pre-dimensioning the landing gear. Preliminary calculation of the landing gear includes estimating the loads on landing and determining the position of the nose landing gear and the main landing gear of a military training aircraft. Another purpose of the preliminary calculation is to ensure the stability of a military training aircraft on landing and take-off, as well as to ensure the lateral stability of the aircraft during ground operations such as taxiing, landing or take-off.
