UAVOS has developed an advanced leaf spring leg for the main landing gear of UAS that weigh up to 2,400 pounds.

According to UAVOS, the spring leaf is stronger, thinner and lighter by 38 percent in comparison with fiberglass, thanks to being made of “aircraft carbon prepreg by the high-temperature molding procedure.”

A duct for the brake hose and the landing sensor wire is inside the spring leaf. Its modern material and chassis design allows it to save seven kilograms of the spring weight (in comparison with fiberglass), which reduces aerodynamic resistance, ensuring the protection of the brake hydraulic system and electrical wiring leading to the chassis.

UAVOS notes that the leaf spring of the main landing gear leg softens the blows that occur when the UAS lands or runs over the uneven surface of the runway. The spring leg weighs 19 kilograms.

“We’re continuously developing new technology to meet the future demands and needs of all of our clients,” says Aliaksei Stratsilatau, UAVOS chairman of the board and lead developer.

“By improving the quality of individual components in UAV systems, we increase the level of reliability and security of UAVs we produce.”
