Airplane Landing Gear

The purpose of this project is to design a real-world airplane landing gear and its compartment and door for the Boing 787 in order to test my skills in real-world application CADing. The overall project was conducted via CAD, however, a physical prototype aspect was conducted via a Meccano kit to vaguely simulate the motion of a real-world landing gear. A bill of material, parts list, and CAD drawings were all made for the landing gear.

Suspension

An oleo-pneumatic suspension and shock strut were 3D modeled and their purpose is to reduce shock

Oleo-pneumatic was chosen for its properties of combining hydraulics and pneumatics, since, with only hydraulics, there would not be any compression, and without pneumatics, the aircraft experiences a recoil

Locking.mp4

Uplock and downlock

Uplock and downlock mechanisms were 3D modeled to prevent accidental deployment in retracted position or retraction in the deployed position

rims and tires

Aluminum rims and conductive rubbered tires inflated at high pressures with inert gasses were 3D modeled to withstand speeds of 300 km/h+
