Heavy aircraft main landing gear tyres skid immediately after touchdown as result of the high slip ratio between the tyres and runway, which lead to tyre wear and smoke. In this paper, the tyre wear is modelled on the Archard theory using ANSYS mechanical transient, to reveal the wheel’s dynamic and the tyre tread wear. The wheel’s dynamic and the amount of wear are calculated for initially sta...

There is a need to design new, lighter aircraft structures, which has direct impact on the safety and costs of maintenance. One basic parts an ites landing gear, whose main functions are enable taxiing, safe landing, take-off, assist remainder ground operations. Landing gear failures usually related metallurgy, processing, environment, design, causes overload. These conditions that can be preve...

This paper contains numerical analysis of brake system for heavy (mass m=6400[kg]) transport car. Analysis was performed in order to correct existing non optimal brakes in mentioned car. Analysis was based on results of the brake system dynamic tests made in Landing Gear Laboratory Institute of Aviation in Warsaw, Poland. Authors describe analytical process which led to generate results for new...
