Fifty Years of Landing Gear Development

Fifty Years of Landing Gear Development SINCE the original British patent for telescopic oleopneumatic shock absorbers for aircraft landing gear was drawn up in 1915 by Vickers engineer T. S. Duncan with his invention of the positive recoil damping principle Weybridge has been in the forefront of landing gear development on all types of aircraft for over half a century. Today, as a member company of British Aircraft Corporation, the Weybridge resources in this field are unique to a prime aircraft manufacturer. The landing gear units for the VC10 and B.A.C. OneEleven airliner families and the supporting design, production and testing facilities at Weybridge are among the most advanced in the world. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology Emerald Publishing

Abstract

SINCE the original British patent for telescopic oleopneumatic shock absorbers for aircraft landing gear was drawn up in 1915 by Vickers engineer T. S.

Today, as a member company of British Aircraft Corporation, the Weybridge resources in this field are unique to a prime aircraft manufacturer. The landing gear units for the VC10 and B.A.C.
