The Boeing 747-400 aircraft incorporates a tricycle four-wheeled and two-axled landing gear. Being a jumbo-jet, the landing gear of Boeing 747-400 deals with tremendous loads during an approach, therefore, it becomes extremely important to identify critical sections and estimate the maximum stresses the gear can take, corresponding to various glideslopes. This paper deals with the determination of critical section and stresses developed in a landing gear during an approach. Three glideslopes of 3, 5 and 10 degrees were used to find critical section in a landing gear.
