Abstract

In the domestic and the abroad, the research on landing gear wheel load distribution mainly focuses on the total load. Few studies have yet to be seen in the light of specific landing gear wheel load distribution but there are urgent needs of wheel load distribution calculation method for aircraft landing gear. The study what impact the roughness that is the major factor of the airport runway has on wheel load distribution and establishes calculation and analysis methods for the load distribution of the six-wheeled landing gear. The effectiveness and feasibility of the method presented are demonstrated by the example of wheel load distribution calculation of Boeing 777 aircraft.
