The analysis of the possibility to use a pyrohydraulic generator in the emergency system of an aircraft landing gear

A number of problematic issues related to the design features and operation of the main and emergency landing gear systems of modern aircraft are considered. Some contradictions have been noted between the necessity to improve reliability and certain difficulties in using additional emergency landing gear systems on military aircraft. As a result of the analysis of various landing gear extension systems, the Yak-130 aircraft was identified as the object of implementation of the authors’ development on the use of a pyrohydraulic generator in the emergency landing gear extension system. The principle of design and operation of the main units of the proposed system is shown. Using the example of the nose landing gear of an aircraft, a schematic diagram of the functioning of the proposed method of extending the landing gear with a pyrohydraulic generator is demonstrated. Based on the results of the study, the feasibility was confirmed and the possibility of using a pyrohydraulic generator in the emergency landing gear system of an aircraft was justified.
