Retractable Gear System Alarm
The main landing gear is made by two supporting beams hinged around the end of two metal leaf springs house inside the fuselage.
This arrangement still allows, in a retractable
gear, the use of the spring leaf for the landing shock absorption, preserving therefore all
this advantage (simplicity, reliability, maintainability).
The main legs are simply rotate by
two pneumatic actuators.
The front wheel is integrated with a high efficient oleo-pneumatic shock absorber.
The
steering and the braking system are unchanged.
When the landing gear is down the
torque-arms are mechanically blocked, preventing the rotation unless driven by the
actuators.
An electrical compressor gives the necessary pressure to the pneumatic system
headed up by two spherical tanks.
One tanks gives the necessary compressed air in case
of system failure.
In any case the gravity assures the landing gear extension.
The panel
indicators (up-and-locked, down-and-locked) comply with FAR requirements.
