With check valves,selector valves,actuators,restricter valves and sequence valve,the most common hydraulic fluid is called skydrol,the fluid starts and the reservoir (tank) then it pass throw the EDP or the GDP (engine driven pump note:for flight use only) (generator driven pump note:for ground use only)and creates a flow which os converted into pressure,PSI (pressure per square inch)it reaches 3000 PSI and that force makes the landing gear go up and down

How does a landing gear work?

No.This question probably stems from a misunderstanding of a term. Likely came from the fact that the undercarriage of an aircraft is often referred to, at least in the U.S. as Landing Gear.Answer 2Aircraft landing gears can have gears similar to a car's rack and pinion steering mechanism that turns the lower piston of the Nose landing gear. The rack and pinion would be operated with hydraulic pressure. Reference Airbus airliners. The first answer seems to refer to the retract mechanism. Most gears are retracted and extended using some hydraulic power and the kinematic design of the strut and its links and pivot points.The Concord had a mechanism that pulled up the Main landing gear to make it shorter just before it rotated into the wheel well during Retraction. Otherwise, the gear was too long to go inside the wheel well. I'm not sure exactly how this worked but I think it was with the use of a mechanical linkage that may have used a bell crank or a gear.I don't know of any Landing Gear that uses a ball-screw actuator to retract and extend it, which is commonly used for flight controls.

What are the landing gear sub system?

Not sure exaclty what you are asking. There are many minor systems that relate to the Landing Gear and the wheels and brakes. The aircraft is divided into different categories referred to as ATA categories. ATA 29 is Hydraulic Controls and ATA 28 is Fuel Controls. Landing Gear is covered by ATA 32. Then this category is sub-divided based upon the manufacturer's organization. ATA 32-10 is the Main Gears ATA 32-20 is the Nose Gears ATA 32-30 is gear retraction and extension ATA 32-40 is wheel and brakes and anti-skid ATA 32-50 is steering ATA 32-60 is Proximity Indicatio System Each of these sub-categories that relate to the braking, and steering and retraction are considered sub-systems of the landing gear.

Is power steering fluid hydraulic fluid?

There are many different specification and types of Hydraulic fluid. A specific power steering fluid for one car model may not work for all cars. So be careful when you substitute different fluids. Hydraulic fluid used in aircraft is different from that used in cars. The fluid used in shock struts and landing gears are different. Swapping fluid can cause the seals to weaken and result in leaks. The term "hydraulic fluid" can be a generic word for any fluid used to power a mechanic device.

How are tests conducted on landing gears?

In airlines and Air Forces, the aircraft is jacked up and the landing gear is cycled many times to test.

What automatically shifts gears in an automatic transmission?

In a true automatic the gears are applied and released by hydraulic pressure, usually in a special oil. The control system is either an analog hydraulic computer (called a valve body) or on newer cars and trucks an electronic computer that controls the hydraulics.


How does electrical landing gear work?

Electrical landing gear operates using electric motors and actuators to deploy and retract the landing gear of an aircraft. When the pilot activates the landing gear control, an electrical signal triggers the motors, which move the gear into position. This system is often preferred for its reliability and reduced weight compared to hydraulic systems. Additionally, electrical landing gear can offer more precise control and easier maintenance.
