Landing Gear System Developed for Long-Range Assault Aircraft

Safran Landing Systems is developing the landing gear system for Bell’s tiltrotor aircraft program as part of the US Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) project.

Under a contract, Safran will design and develop the fully integrated landing system. These shared efforts will establish solid foundations to meet all future requirements.

According to Safran, it has all the capabilities needed to support the increasing complexity and technological requirements of military aircraft.

François Bastin, CEO of Safran Landing Systems, said; “We are very proud to officially announce today our participation in the program as members of the Team. Safran is honored to be part of this project to develop a system based on the requirements of the US Army. Safran Landing Systems has been a committed partner to this program since 2018 and we greatly appreciate Bell’s trust in our ability to develop an innovative landing gear system that will enable the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft to perform critical missions.”
