y The landing gear system which is provided to support
aircraft while in contact with the ground is called
tricycle undercarriage
y The main purposes
(a) to enable easy maneuvering
(b) to permit smooth landing.
y It is provided to support
machine in the air.
y It is flat or curved surface.
y The term aerofoil is used for
wing like structure.
y It is designed to obtain
reaction upon its surface
form the air through
which it moves.
y The wing is slightly curved
and small angle of
incidence to the
horizontal

r This is defined two ways î $ î
r :It means the speed of aircraft related to
medium in which it is travelling. Ex. Suppose aircraft
speed : 500 km.p.h, Wind speed : 50 km.p.h ( Opposite
to aircraft)
So, aircraft speed = 500 Ȃ 50 = 450 km.p.h
r $ % It means speed of aircraft related to
ground.

r Aircraft weight contains weight of different components
of aircraft.
r Aircraft weight play important role in designing the
pavement thickness and length of runway.
r Wheel arrangement is also required to take load of
aircraft.
