Parameter

3.1.2.8 landing gear systems

Landing gear systems support the aircraft during takeoff, landing, and ground operations, and can be integrated with electric motors to enable low-emission taxiing. Electrifying these wheels allows the aircraft to transit the airport without starting its main engines, reducing fuel burn and noise. Challenges in developing these systems lie in packing high-torque electric motors within restricted wheel hubs and protecting delicate electrical components from extreme landing shocks.
