An essential element in the operation of an aircraft’s landing gear system is the electric aircraft landing gear control lever. In order to enable the deployment and retraction of the landing gear during takeoff and landing, it acts as a conduit between the pilot and the landing gear mechanism.
Historically, the pilot’s inputs had to be transmitted to the landing gear system via physical linkages and hydraulics since landing gear control levers were mechanically actuated. But as technology has developed, electrically actuated landing gear systems have proliferated in today’s aircraft.
Over its mechanical equivalents, the electronic landing gear control lever has a number of benefits. First off, it does away with the need for intricate mechanical linkages, which reduces weight and maintenance needs. Electric systems also provide better accuracy and dependability while operating the landing gear.
Normally, the control lever is situated near the pilot on the cockpit control panel of the aeroplane. By simply moving the lever, the pilot can extend or retract the landing gear thanks to its simple, straightforward design. With places for gear up, gear down, and an intermediate position for gear transfer during takeoff or landing, the lever may have a three-position design.
The condition of the landing gear, such as whether it is completely extended, fully retracted, or in transition, is communicated to the pilot by these indications. Overall, the electric aircraft landing gear control lever is essential to the secure and effective operation of the landing gear system on an aircraft.
With better reliability and precision, its electrical actuation capabilities increase modern aviation technology, improving pilot control and passenger safety.
The global electric aircraft landing gear control lever market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Primary and Emergency Landing Gear Controls for Aircraft Applications are provided by Orscheln Products. The Landing Gear Control Lever (LGCL) from Sensata-Kavlico offers all the components required for control while also offering signal indication via a number of internal control switches.
