The landing gear represents 2.5 to 5% of the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) and 1.5 to 1.75% of the aircraft cost, but 20% of the airframe direct maintenance cost. A suitably-designed wheel can support 30 t (66,000 lb), tolerate a ground speed of 300 km/h and roll a distance of 500,000 km (310,000 mi) ; it has a 20,000 hours time between overhaul and a 60,000 hours or 20 year life time.
Conventional landing gear. A Cessna 150 converted to taildragger configuration by installation of an aftermarket modification kit. Conventional landing gear, or tailwheel-type landing gear, is an aircraft undercarriage consisting of two main wheels forward of the center of gravity and a small wheel or skid to support the tail. [1][2] The term ...

Oleo strut. An oleo strut is a pneumatic air–oil hydraulic shock absorber used on the landing gear of most large aircraft and many smaller ones. [1] This design cushions the impacts of landing and damps out vertical oscillations. It is undesirable for an airplane to bounce on landing as it could lead to a loss of control, [2] and the landing ...

Ground carriage. An aircraft ground carriage (also " ground power assisted takeoff and landing concept ") is a landing gear system connected to the ground, on which aircraft can take off and land without their aircraft-installed landing gear. [ 1] The technical feasibility of the ground carriage is being investigated by two research groups.
