Common practice in the aviation industry is to place a single Flight Data Recorder (FDR) in an aircraft for the purpose of aiding an investigation of an aircraft accident or incident. In contrast, a system employing ‘an example’ embodiment of the invention uses multiple flight data recorders by having a primary node or first FDR, and one or more secondary nodes or one or more additional FDRs configured to store flight data. Each FDR is placed in a different location so as to ensure backup of the recorded and stored data. In this way, the invention system provides redundancy of information for an aircraft accident or incident and more reliable data storage.

A mechanism for increasing the ride height of aircraft by selectively increasing the hydraulic fluid content within landing gear struts. By increasing the hydraulic fluid volume within a strut, the strut is lengthened without adversely affecting its spring rate while the ability to withdraw fluid from a strut maintains the ability of the strut to absorb the impact of landing. The mechanism is readily retrofitable to existing landing gear systems to accommodate more efficient under the wing intake designs and to reduce the likelihood of FOD during taxiing at minimal cost and with very a minimal increase in the aircraft weight.
