Filament Composite Material Landing Gear Program, Volume 2

Abstract

The objective of this program was to explore the utility of boron/ epoxy composite materials in aircraft landing gear construction. The design, fabrication and test of a boron composite material landing gear assembly interchangeable in both geometry and performance with the main landing gear of A.37B aircraft. This report describes the fabrication and processing of boron composites. The processing procedures associated with the design trial specimens and prototype components designed during this program are described.
