You'd also need to factor in shock strut pressure
Right. And don't forget the static friction in the strut seals.
Having been no closer to main oleo's on a "heavy" than the seats over the wing(as SLF), can any aircraft engineer give me a general idea of the maximum travel or "stroke" of a large aircraft oleo(only when on the ground , of course)?
Manufacturers of automotive struts/dampers such as Bilstein/KYB provide such information on request and/or on the www. for their products.
I imagine aerospace strut manufacturers(MessierDowty - Goodrich ??) would have such information available to those "with a need to know".
Unfortunately, I am not one of those with such a need.
Can any one help?
Data relating to a 737-900(the subject of this thread) would do nicely.
