worked at goodrich landing gear. our parts went out as a bolt onwhat all do you put together?
\used to machine inner cylinder ,, outer cylinder , axels, torsion links, retract arms and side stays for 747 767 737 737x and 777 both er and lr .. i have since moved into programming about a year ago
Nice to see other aviation buffs! ATP & A&P here.

Nice. So I don't need to tell you that this stuff is really heavy.
I know the 777 outer cylinder comes in as a raw forging at around 6600lbs.. our first two operations break the skin and core it. removes just over 4000lbs of material. We use the core for axles. All said and done after heat treat chrome, paint and bushing,, just the outer cylinder weighs in at around 1200lbs.,, im comfortable with big parts,,,much better then tiny stuff.
kool stuff.
that beats sitting behind a desk on a computer all day.
So you're the guy who keeps my butt from skidding along the runway on rough landings. Thanks for that! I'm guessing... Delta?
I'm an amateur physics geek and every time I get to watch a plane take off it simply amazes me. Just a simple pressure differential, caused simply by the plane moving forward, powered by an engine that compresses air by blowing it through an orifice alone then ignites it which spins the compressor wheels in the first place. Absolutely amazing.JIM thanks,now that was very interesting,its amazing how something that large can get off the ground,and without the help of three eighty ton jacks
