: Encountered during taxiing, landing, towing, and braking. Landing typically generates significant vertical load factors and shock loads on the gear.

In aerospace engineering, the design of an airframe is a two-stage process: determining the and establishing the structural layout and sizing of primary members. This process ensures the aircraft can withstand various stresses while remaining as lightweight as possible for aerodynamic efficiency.

The structural layout defines the "load paths"—the routes through which forces travel from their source (like wings or engines) to be balanced elsewhere. 1 Aircraft Structural Components and Loads : Encountered during taxiing, landing, towing, and braking
