Notes on Factors Affecting Geometrical Arrangement of Tricycle-Type Landing Gear

Carl J Wenzinger, ARTHUR R. KANTROWITZ

Abstract

The effects of the geometrical arrangement of tricycle landing gears on various characteristics of an airplane equipped with such landing gear is discussed. The characteristics discussed include directional stability, overturning tendencies, steering and ground handling, shimmy, takeoff, and porpoising. The conclusions are summarized in a table.
