Abstract:In order to research the influence of aircraft flexibility on landing load, an experiment piece of full scale aircraft simplified structure with landing gears has been designed. Meanwhile, a rigid-flex coupling full aircraft landing dynamics simulation model was established based on the theory of mode superposition.Otherwise, landing gear drop experiment and full scale aircraft drop experiment were carried out respectively. The influence of aircraft flexibility on landing load was further studied through the simulation model, which was verified through the experiment data, and the results show that the experimental method can effectively obtain a series of data such as landing gear vertical load, buffer stroke, and acceleration at the center of gravity. The landing gear dynamics model and full scale aircraft landing dynamics model have an error of less than 5% compared to the experiment, the reliability of the simulation model was verified. The influence of aircraft flexibility on landing dynamic response cannot be ignored. Considering the flexibility of the aircraft, the peak vertical ground load and acceleration at the center of gravity of the landing gear will decrease, the pulse-width of the vertical ground load and the acceleration will increase, and the landing power absorbing and buffering efficiency of the landing gear will decrease. The results provide reference for aircraft weight reduction and landing gear design.
