LANDING GEAR MATERIALS

Materials
1.Composites will be integrated into gear because they are stronger and cheaper than the current used high strength steels and titanium

2.Ultra-High Tensile Steels are already being integrated into the A400M and the B-787 landing gear, replacing the low-alloy steels.

3.Research into organic matrix composites and metal matrix composites using titanium are promising, though still very expensive
