🛬 Oleo-Pneumatic Landing Strut: Drop Test, Stroke and Load Factor (2D section)

Section of an oleo-pneumatic landing gear strut taking a touchdown. Set the aircraft mass, sink rate, gas pre-charge, orifice size and the wing lift at touchdown, and watch the gas spring and the orifice damper absorb the landing energy, with peak load factor and stroke used. A mechanism-and-strut companion to the 3D landing gear, with four in-page numerical checks.
