Abstract

The goal of this paper is to meet the safe use of the whole life cycle of civil aircraft landing gear. Based on the theory of structure, mechanism and system reliability, a complete analysis method of safety of civil aircraft landing gear is given. Taking the nose landing gear failure to extend and down-lock as an example, the safety analysis is performed. When the results do not meet the requirements of the safety indicators, improved safety design of civil aircraft landing gear need to be made using sensitivity analysis. This method is application to the whole process of aircraft design. The method can guide the optimal design of landing gear and provide support for airworthiness.
