The flying manipulator is flexible and has the ability to hover and take off and land vertically. At the same time, it has excellent obstacle avoidance capabilities. It has a wider operating space than foot-type mobile robots and tracked mobile robots, and has better adaptability to unstructured outdoor environments. The landing gear is a device at the bottom of the aircraft that supports the aircraft during takeoff and landing or ground taxiing and is used for ground movement. It is the only component that supports the entire aircraft, so its reliability is very important.
