Landing Gear Systems
As TAAC Aerospace Technologies, a company specialized in the aerospace industry, we develop high-performance landing gear systems with advanced capabilities. Our primary goal is to add value to landing gear projects for various fixed-wing and rotary-wing aerial platforms. We are also proud to serve as the main contractor for the landing gear system developed for the National Combat Aircraft KAAN.
Landing gear is a critical component of any aircraft, playing a vital role in flight safety and overall performance. At TAAC, we bring extensive expertise and experience to the development of high-quality, reliable, and optimized landing gear systems, backed by a team equipped with comprehensive engineering know-how.
By closely following the latest developments in the aerospace industry and integrating cutting-edge technologies, we design landing gear systems that meet modern aviation requirements. We provide customizable solutions to ensure full alignment with our customers’ specific needs. In our landing gear designs, we focus on durability, shock absorption, adaptability to harsh conditions, and fast response capability as key performance factors.
Landing Gear Systems
The Landing Gear System, developed and manufactured for the first time in Türkiye for the National Combat Aircraft (MMU) KAAN, features a tricycle configuration with a steerable nose landing gear and an integrated braking system. It is a retractable-type landing gear system designed to meet modern fighter aircraft requirements.
The main components of the Landing Gear System include struts and shock absorbers, tire, wheel, and brake assemblies, actuators, locking mechanisms, hydraulic manifolds, landing gear control panel, control units, position indication, and warning systems.
The purpose of developing the Landing Gear System is to provide a system that supports the weight of the aircraft, absorbs the forces generated during landing impact, enables deceleration, braking, and steering on the ground, and allows the landing gear to be deployed and retracted during flight.
Key Features of the Landing Gear Systems
- To support the weight of the aircraft on the ground
- To absorb the energy generated during landing, takeoff, and taxi operations
- To steer the aircraft on the ground
- To brake the aircraft on the ground
- To lift the aircraft with a jack for tire replacement
- To secure the aircraft on the ground
- To enable towing of the aircraft on the ground
- To ensure deployment of the landing gear in emergency situations
- To hold the landing gear in the retracted position without using hydraulic power
- To provide landing gear position and warning information
- To provide weight-on-wheel (WOW) status
- To provide tire rotational speed information on the ground
A fully integrated landing gear system featuring main landing gears with high shock absorption capacity
and a nose landing gear that ensures precise steering.
