Design of the main landing gear for Zlin 40 aircraft

This master thesis deals with the modernization of the main landing gear of the Z 143 LSi aircraft. The main emphasis is placed on optimizing of the landing gear shape and its deformation characteristics. Along with this change, variants made of different materials are examined. The landing load is calculated analytically and the load-bearing capacity of the structure is verified using the numerical FEM method. This work brings a possible replacement of the current chassis, which is production-intensive not only in time and money, but also in terms of cooperation with external companies. The objective is to design a new landing gear and verify the feasibility for the case of future implementation
