Book excerpt: The landing of a simplified airplane structure, consisting of a uniform beam for the wings, a concentrated mass for the fuselage, and a linear spring for the landing gear, is analyzed exactly and is compared with several approximate solutions. The approximate solutions which neglect elasticity in the determination of landing-gear reaction but consider elasticity in computations of stresses give results of good accuracy and indicate that drop tests in which rigid masses are used may be a satisfactory approach to the landing problem.
