A lot has happened since then. Due to winter weather conditions, Mr. Thoebel is currently unable to actively work on building the airplane. Instead, he is focusing on designing and implementing the landing gear\u2014a key milestone on the road to completing the aircraft.   <\/p><p>The landing gear is one of the central load-bearing structures of an aircraft, as it must reliably transfer the forces that occur during takeoff and landing to the airframe. The compact design of the aircraft limits the available installation space, meaning that standard landing gear cannot be used. For this reason, Mr. Thoebel developed a landing gear system specially tailored to the geometric and structural requirements of the aircraft.  <\/p><p>A retractable landing gear was chosen for the aircraft. Although retractable systems are usually heavier than fixed landing gear, they offer considerable aerodynamic advantages: during flight, the retracted mechanism reduces air resistance, enabling higher flight speeds with the same engine power. <\/p><p>A finite element model (FEM) was created to evaluate the structural strength. This model simulates the forces that occur during landing. The goal of the analysis is to account for the most critical load drop to ensure that the landing gear functions reliably even under extreme conditions.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82684b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"82684b8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85dbfa6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"85dbfa6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0c5fa2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f0c5fa2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_01-1024x515.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12218\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_01-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_01-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_01-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_01-1536x773.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_01-2048x1031.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4acc538 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4acc538\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df65473 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"df65473\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_02-1024x515.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12220\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_02-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_02-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_02-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_02-1536x773.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FEM_02-2048x1031.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4b184f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c4b184f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Through extensive CAD analyses and a comparison of various design approaches, a practical solution was developed. The digital verification confirmed that the landing gear fits within the limited installation space and can be integrated into the aircraft structure, and that the retraction mechanism operates without collisions to ensure smooth retraction and extension. <\/p><p>Due to the geometric complexity, structural integrity could only be validated through simulations. A maximum landing impact load of 3.75 g was assumed for this purpose. <\/p><p>At the same time, a 3D-printed prototype was manufactured and integrated into the aircraft fuselage. This allows the mechanism, the fit in the limited installation space, and the connection points to the aircraft structure to be checked. Iterative prototype development allows adjustments to be made at an early stage before the final production of the components. Several iterations have already achieved improvements in geometry, mechanics, and integration; the current prototype is currently being finalized.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fb21ba e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5fb21ba\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05d488b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"05d488b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a20475 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0a20475\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12216\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03-1536x773.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/03-2048x1031.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d49ca78 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d49ca78\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-caa7a66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"caa7a66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/02-1024x515.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12214\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/02-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/02-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/02-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/02-1536x773.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/02-2048x1031.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72efcd2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"72efcd2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-230ef3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"230ef3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01-1024x515.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12212\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01-1536x773.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.khoch3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01-2048x1031.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12938c2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"12938c2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62275fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"62275fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A special feature of the chassis is the combination of materials: while most components are made of milled aluminum, the wheel rim is made of carbon fiber.
