Aircraft Landing Gear Market Dynamics
Driver: Need for more intelligent and light aircraft with improved light-weighted systems
Airlines are focusing on building intelligent fleets that provide future network flexibility, maximizing capability while minimizing risk, and improving efficiency and sustainability. In most conventional airliners of today, the landing gear is extended and retracted using power drawn from centralized, complex, and heavy hydraulic systems which also power many of the aircraft’s flight control surfaces. A technology is being developed by the Clean Sky’s Advanced Landing Gear Systems project called the Electro-Hydrostatic Actuation which enables landing gear to be activated and retracted using a more localized and more electrical solution which saves weight, consumes less power, and generates less heat and noise in the process. The project is spearheaded by Safran and Liebherr. As part of this project, developments are being made in the inclusion of electrically-driven landing gear wheels for electric taxiing, further enabling a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient movement of aircraft. This is an extension of the Direct Drive System that requires aircraft engines to be turned off during taxiing, which further reduces emissions.
Restraint: Regulatory barriers causing restrictions for entry into landing gear market
One of the leading causes of aviation accidents is mechanical errors, especially due to landing gear failures. Hence landing gear systems are constantly monitored and subjected to stringent regulations and standards. Landing gear needs to able to withstand extreme weather conditions and be highly reliable and efficient as it is subjected heavy loads and shocks during take-off and landing. Issues have arisen when the landing gear has not extracted to the right position during landing, or landing gear not locking in properly in position during flight or taxiing. Hence OEMs and MRO organizations are subject to regulatory barriers by aviation authorities such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Even the process of adopting a new system for landing gear such as adopting a new material for landing gear structures or new technologies to replace conventional systems needs to go through rigorous designing and testing processes to be able to be adopted for commercial and military flights. Regulations regarding aircraft landing gear are particular about the operation of the retraction and extension of the landing gear. The landing gear is required to meet the requirements of the different regulations for the actuation systems and support systems. The indicators, switches, and sensors that are required to support the pilot during flights as well as the positions of the flaps during landing or take off are all required to meet the regulatory standards.
Opportunity: AAM industry expected to witness growth in the coming decade
The advanced air mobility (AAM) industry is expected to become mainstream in the 2030s. The industry has received significant investments and presently there are over 200 companies worldwide developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. These include traditional aerospace companies, established automotive players, and purely AAM-focused new entrants. While still evolving, the AAM industry is expected to see increasing adoption in less than a decade. Therefore, companies in the AAM ecosystem are presently working towards formulating strong business strategies for successful commercial operations. The need for landing systems in AAMs is expected to drive the landing gear market during the coming decade.
Challenge: Decrease in aircraft deliveries and slower pace in meeting backlogs
The combination of negative demand and supply shocks and the uncertainty in the outlook for the medium-term lead to an uncertain perspective for airline companies. These inter-industry linkages and uncertainty affect the entire aviation industry. The industry remains exposed to multiple industry affecting events across the globe post the pandemic like the Russo-Ukrainian War as governments may impose new air travel restrictions for safety. This may threaten the existence of some firms in the industry, as production and revenues are expected to remain lower to pre-crisis levels for some time. As a short-term effect, aircraft deliveries as well as backlogs are being affected. This affects the production of landing system OEMs and MRO organizations.
