  • Abstract:
  • The landing gear is one of the most critical subsystems of an aircraft, responsible for supporting the entire weight of the vehicle during ground operations, take-off, and landing. This study focuses on the CAD design and static structural analysis of an aircraft landing gear system to ensure optimal strength, stability, and weight efficiency. A 3D model of the landing gear assembly was developed using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, incorporating key components such as the strut, wheel, axle, and shock absorber. The design process emphasized geometric accuracy, material selection, and manufacturability. The static structural analysis was conducted using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools to evaluate stress distribution, deformation, and factor of safety under various loading conditions such as landing impact and taxiing loads. The results indicate that the proposed design can withstand the expected operational stresses while maintaining structural integrity and minimizing material usage. The findings contribute to improved reliability and performance of aircraft landing systems and provide a framework for future optimization studies integrating fatigue and dynamic analyses.
