4.2.2 Main Landing Gear
The main landing gear of the CTLS is made from composite materials and is of the cantilever spring type.
The cantilever spring ensures harmonic deflection behavior with good damping.
The two separate struts (left / right) are mounted in a bearing in the fuselage. This bearing is in the
fuselage main frame whence the landing loads are discharged into the structure. The struts are attached
to the structure by two bolts at the top ends. A clamp cushioned by a thin layer of rubber at the fuselage
exit supports the strut. The fuselage exit is faired to an aerodynamically optimized form.
At the bottom of the landing gear strut there is a stub axle to which the main wheels and the brakes are
attached. The main wheels have removable fairings.

Due to lifting loads being hazardous, two persons are required to remove / install the main gear struts.
