Drop and Flight Tests on NY-2 Landing Gears Including Measurements of Vertical Velocities at Landing
This is a 1933 NASA technical report on drop and flight tests of landing gears for the Navy NY-2 trainer biplane, prepared by the NASA Technical Reports Server and written for aeronautical engineers. The four close-up photographs show tubular steel landing gear struts, axles and wheels mounted under the fuselage and wings, with one wide view of a US Navy NY-2 on the ground; a designer could take from them the angular, braced structure of early aircraft undercarriages.
