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.
