PROJECT REPORT ON LANDING GEAR SYSTEMS

Location: Malaysia
Good day everyone!

Here, I'm sharing with you the outcome from my team and I's project for Aircraft Subsystem Element class. My team was assigned a task to review the landing gear systems of air transport. The landing gear is one of the critical subsystems of an aircraft or helicopter. It is the undercarriage of an aircraft or spacecraft and may be used for either takeoff or landing. The need to design landing gear with minimum weight, minimum volume, high performance, improve life, and reduced life cycle cost have posed many challenges to landing gear designers and practitioners. For aircraft, the landing gear supports the craft when it is not flying, allowing it to take off, land, and taxi without damage. Wheels are typically used but skids, skis, floats or a combination of these and other elements can be deployed depending both on the surface and on whether the craft only operates vertically (VTOL) or is able to taxi along the surface. Faster aircraft usually have retractable undercarriages, which fold away during the flight to reduce air resistance or drag. For launch vehicles and spacecraft landers, the landing gear is typically designed to support the vehicle only post-flight, and are typically not used for takeoff or surface movement. The main purpose of the landing gear is to provide structural support and manoeuvrability of the helicopter for the ground operation. It is also meant to absorb unusual loads incurred during landing and also ground operation. 

The report is quite lengthy, but I hope you will find the report useful somehow. Enjoy reading!

REFLECTIVE ESSAY ON THE NEW NASA X-59 QUIET SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT (QUESST)

Image
Greetings to whom reading this. To begin this essay, I’d like to first introduce myself. My name is Siti Nuruljannah Mohamad Zamri, a third-year student from the School of Aerospace Engineering. I am writing this reflective essay to share with you my view on the new NASA X-59 Quiet Supersonic Transport.   Isn’t it amazing if you could travel around the world in just a matter of second? Much to our disappointment, teleportation has not yet been implemented in the real world. However, we can still rely on aeroplanes or helicopters! Air transport is said to be the fastest method of transport. Commercial jets can reach speeds up to 955 kmph (593 mph). Let’s say you want to go to America to see Donald Trump, it would take you quite the whole day to reach there! The total flight duration from Malaysia to the United States is 19 hours 6 minutes but what if you can travel there in just about half of the duration? That would be cool right?  Over the decades, NASA has done a lot of...

English Writing: Covid-19

Good day everyone! How's your day? Due to Movement Control Order, I am sure that most of you are not feeling great for months being trapped indoors. But, you know what, it is what it is. A new norm for everyone, whether you like it or not. To stop this virus outbreak, we have to join forces and abide by the rules. Not for anybody else, but for us, ourselves, our family. Therefore, please, stay home, stay safe, stay healthy.  #kitajagakita Question: Covid-19 front-liners like health officers are hailed as heroes. In your opinion, who else are equally important? On January 25, 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic was confirmed to spread in Malaysia. In December 2019, the infectious disease was first identified in Wuhan, China, and has spread throughout the world since then. Coronavirus disease 2019 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and can cause viral pneumonia and multi-organ failure. As the world has come to terms with this disaster, all people on ear...

Reflective Essay on the Remote Teaching & Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Image
Hola a todos! ¿Cómo están, gente? Espero que estés bien. Me llamo Jannah Zamri. As titled above, I write this essay to reflect my experience on the remote teaching and learning (T&L) in ESA368 High-Speed Aerodynamic course during the COVID-19 pandemic. 17 November 2019, the first case of Coronavirus was identified in Wuhan, Hubei. In December 2019, more confirmed cases were reported. During this period, the rest of the world was laughing at China, oblivious to the coming virus outbreak that would shake this sphere planet, Earth. As of 26 July 2020, more than 16 million cases have been reported across 188 countries and territories, resulting in more than 640,000 deaths. Who would’ve known that a single case may lead to millions? Who would’ve known that thousands of people would die because of human’s ignorance, stubbornness, and inferior educations? No one knows, because no one ever prepares for the arrival of this new virus. Months had passed, no vaccine created. Of course, becaus...
