Designing mechanical systems

A group of aircraft aviating system, undercarriage and hydraulics at the Design and Development Office of JSC TAM-TBILISI AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING discharges the following principal functions:

• In respect of the aircraft aviating system:

  • Drafting the requirements specification for the aircraft aviation system
  • Calculation of the aircraft aviation system kinematics
  • Calculation of the strength of the aircraft aviation system
  • Selecting the component parts and looking for proper suppliers
  • Drafting the design documentation of the aircraft aviation system
  • Developing test programs for the aircraft aviation system
  • Engineering provision during the tests and production.

• In respect of aircraft hydraulics:

  • Drafting the requirements specification for the aircraft control hydraulic system
  • Hydraulic calculation of the aircraft hydraulic system
  • Calculation of the strength of the aircraft aviation system
  • Selecting the component parts and looking for proper suppliers
  • Drafting the design documentation of the aircraft hydraulic system
  • Construction of test stands for aircraft hydraulic system
  • Engineering provision during the tests and production.

• In respect of the undercarriage

• Drafting the requirements specification for the undercarriage
• Selecting nose landing gear (nose LG) and main landing gear (main LG) and looking for proper suppliers
• Drafting the documentation necessary for installation of nose and main LGs on the aircrafts
• Developing undercarriage test programs
• Engineering provision during the tests and production.

In reaching the set aims the group uses the following software:

• CATIA V5, a system of computer-aided design;
• NASTRAN, PATRAN for calculation of structures for static and dynamic loads by FEM (Finite Element Method);
• Mathcad – mathematical calculation.
