The landing gear of an aircraft refers to the undercarriage of the vehicle that allows for it to take-off, land, and taxi around an airport or landing area. The Aircraft Landing Gear provides for various important roles, facilitating the transportation of an aircraft to and from liftoff as well protecting sensitive components from the impact of landing. While landing gear may differ from aircraft to aircraft, such as the number of wheels or placement, most landing gear configurations operate on the same principles for their alignment, support, and retraction.
