In our thesis, we investigated the process required to certify an aircraft landing gear so that it can be installed on an aircraft. We focused on landing gear for light aircraft. We discussed many types of landing gear, the differences between them, and the reasons why there are so many different types. We focused on describing in detail the key importance in planning, designing, and manufacturing testing devices. We also analyzed a classic aluminum landing gear, and described the functions of individual components and why they are necessary on an aircraft landing gear. Finally, we also showed a calculation of the landing gear, which has been successfully used in aviation for many years. Using the example of a landing gear made of composite materials, we presented the testing process, explaining the importance of testing despite the existence of advanced simulation programs.
