Thursday 14 May 2015, Amsterdam

The report recognizes the following companies as the key players in Global Commercial Aircraft Landing Gear Market 2015-2019: Circor Aerospace, Héroux-Devtek, Liebherr Group, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty and UTC Aerospace Systems

Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: AAR Honeywell Aerospace Magellan Aerospace Merrill Technologies Group, SPP Canada Aircraft Triumph Group and Whippany Actuation Systems

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio’s team said: “The development of lightweight materials for the aerospace industry has been growing at a rapid pace recently. New materials are being utilized to achieve increased durability because they are more robust and are lighter. For example, new titanium alloys such as Ti 10-2-3 (Ti 10V 2Fe 2Al) and Ti 5-5-5-3 (Ti 5 Va 5Mo 5Al 3Cr) are largely being utilized in aircraft landing gear. Several of Boeing 787 landing gear components such as the main gear inner cylinder use titanium alloys. Titanium provides more strength compared to the existing steel alloys and is also lighter in weight. Conventional steel (300M and 4340 steel) is also being replaced with AerMet100 and AF1410 alloys.”

According to the report, lightweight landing gear is increasingly being used in aircraft. Weight reduction is necessary to achieve the optimum ratio between payload and range for an aircraft, and consequently, low fuel consumption. Manufacturers in the aerospace sector are developing advanced lightweight landing gear to meet customer expectations while maintaining the highest standards of safety.

Further, the report states that the introduction of new aviation systems and components such as landing gear systems encounter various challenges because of strict regulatory requirements.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
