Scope: This information report provides general guidance for the designconsiderations, qualification in endurance, strength and fatigue oflanding gear using composite components as principle structuralelements. The information discussed herein includes the developmentand evaluation of design data considering: the potential for imbeddedmanufacturing defects, manufacturing process variations, thecomponent operating environment, potential damage threats in service,rework and overhaul, and inspection processes. This AIR mainlydiscusses the use of thick composites for landing gear structuralcomponents. Considerations and recommendations provided in this AIRmay therefore differ greatly from considerations and recommendationsfound in widely accepted composite design references such as CMH17and Advisory Circulars such as AC 20107(B).
Rationale: With the introduction of composite components into landing gearapplications, the industry recognizes the need to define an informationreport on the development and qualification of composite landing gearcomponents.
