This paper analyses the causes of the incident of an F-4 which landed abnormally due to a crack in the nose landing gear hydraulic actuator cylinder. Striations, typical of a fatigue crack, were observed on the fracture surface and a large quantity of corrosive oxide was detected in the initial stag
The crankshaft of a piston engine of a transport aircraft failed during climb. Cracks were found to initiate at the web radius region of journals 2 and 3 and progressed in the transverse direction of the shaft axis causing it to fracture. The initiation of cracks was by surface contact fatigue due t
## Computer-aided design of the Galaxie landing gear The C-5 landing gear was probably the first landing gear developed by a form of computer-aided design. The sophistication of present-day techniques had not been established at the time of the C-5 study phase, but the various parameters and proce
