Key Design Features

• Retractable or Fixed Landing Gear Options
Modular design supporting both static and servo-actuated retractable mechanisms, depending on the client's mission profile.

• High Ground Clearance & Payload Protection
Designed to protect camera gimbals, sensor arrays, or cargo modules during uneven landings or field deployments.

• Lightweight Structural Tubing
Carbon fiber composite struts or reinforced nylon arms used to reduce drag and flight weight while maintaining rigidity.

• Vibration Dampening Pads
Integrated elastomeric isolators to absorb shock and reduce vibration transmitted to onboard sensors and electronics.

• Tool-Free Mounting
Quick-connect clamps and modular interfaces for easy integration into existing UAV frames or custom chassis.

Engineering Process

We started with flight dynamics analysis and loading scenarios, followed by CAD-based design iterations to optimize geometry, strength, and weight.
FEA simulations were run to evaluate impact resistance, torsional rigidity, and stress distribution across leg and mounting joints.
3D-printed prototypes (nylon & carbon-filled filaments) were fabricated in-house for field testing, with adjustable configurations tested under varied terrain conditions and controlled drop loads.

Outcome

The final landing gear system was successfully integrated into the client’s quadcopter platform and passed multiple field trials involving payload drops, uneven ground landing, and simulated emergency touchdowns.
This project showcases our ability to deliver flight-ready mechanical subsystems that meet the exacting standards of aerospace-grade design and field operability.
