Scope: This  information  report  provides  general  guidance  for  the  designconsiderations,  qualification  in  endurance,  strength  and  fatigue  oflanding  gear  using  composite  components  as  principle  structuralelements. The  information  discussed  herein  includes  the  developmentand  evaluation  of  design  data  considering:  the  potential  for  imbeddedmanufacturing  defects,  manufacturing  process  variations,  thecomponent operating environment, potential damage threats in service,rework  and  overhaul,  and  inspection  processes.  This  AIR  mainlydiscusses  the  use  of  thick  composites  for  landing  gear  structuralcomponents. Considerations and recommendations provided in this AIRmay  therefore differ greatly  from considerations and  recommendationsfound  in widely accepted composite design references such as CMH17and Advisory Circulars such as AC 20107(B).

Rationale: With  the  introduction  of  composite  components  into  landing  gearapplications, the  industry recognizes the need to define an  informationreport on  the development and qualification of  composite  landing gearcomponents.
