Testing Shock‐Absorbing Struts: Method Employed for Dynamic Tests of Axially‐Loaded Undercarriage Struts at the Royal Aircraft Establishment

Abstract

OWING to the complexity of the calculations necessary to determine the motion of the parts of an undercarriage during landing it is usually advisable to subject the combination of wheel and shock‐absorbing strut to a representative dynamic test.
