This is the only book available today that covers military and commercial aircraft landing gear design. It is a comprehensive text that will lead students and engineers from the initial concepts of landing gear design through final detail design. The book provides a vital link in landing gear design technology from historical practices to modern design trends, and it considers the necessary airfield interface with landing gear design. The text is backed up by calculations, specifications, references, working examples.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Design Guide for Landing Gear,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aircraft Landing Gear Design: Principles and Practices (Aiaa Education Series) (Hardcover)
Currey addresses almost all of the aspects of landing gear design. From basic gear geometries to dynamic analysis of the shock strut - the descriptions are clear and the illustrations accurate.With this book alone its possible to design a complete landing gear - well almost. Stress analysis, computer dynamic analysis and manufacturing processes are not covered in great detail in the book, nor should they be. Currey accurately describes what's involved in the preliminary design stages of landing gear.

This book is essitial if you design landing gear,

This review is from: Aircraft Landing Gear Design: Principles and Practices (Aiaa Education Series) (Hardcover)
I have been an aerospace for over 25 years and within the last couple of years have been working on landing gear specifically. This book is on every shelf of anyone who has anything to do with landing gear. That is why I purchased it. The small price you pay for this reference bible will be paid for over and over again as you refer to its insights and knowledge contain within its pages. It outlines everything from bushings to complete landing gear system and everything in-between. With the knowledge in this book it will give you an excellent base to start from and an excellent reference for years to come. If I could give it 10 stars I would. You will not be disappointed with your purchase

This review is from: Aircraft Landing Gear Design: Principles and Practices (Aiaa Education Series) (Hardcover)
I design landing gear for a living for a major defense contractor and this book has been invaluable. The content is a little old, but most of the principals still apply to modern aircraft.
