The “Mass of Struts” in aircraft design refers to the total mass of the struts that are part of the landing gear system of an aircraft. These struts provide structural support and shock absorption during landing, taxiing, and takeoff. Here’s the formula, definition, and SI unit for the Mass of Struts:
Formula for Mass of Struts: The Mass of Struts is determined by summing up the masses of all the individual struts used in the landing gear system. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
- Mass of Struts: The total mass of all struts used in the landing gear system, typically measured in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lb).
- Mass of Strut 1, Strut 2, … Strut N: The individual masses of each specific strut component.
