This document is intended to give advisory information for the selection of plain bearings and bearing materials most suitable for aircraft landing gear applications. Information included herein was derived from bearing tests and service experience/reports. Airframe/landing gear manufacturers,...
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) was written because of the growing interest in aircraft installed outdoor engine testing by the Federal Aviation Administration, airlines, charter/commercial operators, cargo carriers, engine manufacturers and overhaul and repair stations. This...
The intent of this SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is to describe the effects of the environmental changes on human physiology and the protection required to avoid negative consequences resulting from altitude exposure. A brief presentation of basic terms and considerations required...
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is only applicable to 14 CFR Part 25 transport airplane passenger and flight attendant seats. This document provides the analysis methods, testing, and rationale used to justify changes contained in ARP6199B.
The scope of this SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is to describe the considerations for requirements, specifications, and framework of digital thread in the aircraft product life cycle management. This document is not intended to define an overarching rendition of...
This document examines the most important considerations relative to the use of proximity sensing systems for applications on aircraft landing gear. In general, the information included are applicable to other demanding aircraft sensor installations where the environment is equally severe.
Over the past two and one-half decades several metal clad fibers and fabrics have been developed to provide aerospace vehicle designers with a conductive, lighter weight alternative to coated copper, coated stainless steel and steel wire used for cable and wire shielding and harness overbraids on...
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides a description of a screening method for use in the field for verifying an AMS 1428 anti-icing fluid is above its minimum low shear viscosity as published with holdover time guidelines. The test will determine if the fluid is (a)...
GENERAL INFORMATION This standard facility prototype design criteria was developed to assist Air Force planners to prepare and validate DD Form 1391 requirements and to assist architect and engineering (A-E) design professionals with approved project-specific design requirements. It...
The purpose of this report is to outline types of in-service heat damage that have been observed in high strength steel landing gear components, with an emphasis on a particular type that is referred to as "Ladder Cracking" which can develop in landing gear shock struts. The report discusses how...
