Abstract
Aircraft landing gear is a unique subsystem which is actuated to land the airframe without a
depredation to the airframe. The critical parts of the landing gear shock strut are inner metal tube as
piston, cylinder and tapered rod assembly. A suspension system or shock absorber is a mechanical device
designed to smooth out or damp shock impulse, and dissipate kinetic energy. This work aims at
understanding to improve the performance characteristics of modified oleo strut shock absorber for
lighter aircraft application. The usage of solid spring and lever bungee type shock strut in lighter aircraft
offers relatively poor shock performance.
