[0037] The specific working process and principle of this utility model:

[0038] When the buffer strut 5 replaces the landing gear and is installed at the bottom of the aircraft, under a load of 45t, the buffer strut inner tube 9 of the buffer strut 5 will be compressed. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the oil chamber of the outer cylinder 20 flows from the second one-way valve 15 into the buffer strut inner tube 9, pushing the floating piston 17 to move rightward, compressing the air chamber 19 gas, so that the pressure of the air chamber 19 increases. When it reaches 9.17MPa, the buffer strut inner tube 9 stops moving and is in a balanced position.

[0039] When the aircraft experiences downward turbulence, the buffer strut 5 is further compressed, causing the hydraulic fluid in the oil chamber to flow into the buffer strut inner tube 9 through the second one-way valve 15, and the pressure in the oil chamber and the air chamber gradually increases. The force generated in this process gradually does work, absorbing the energy of the aircraft's downward turbulence, so that the aircraft stops the downward turbulence smoothly.

[0040] When the aircraft stops shaking downward, the pressure in the air cavity 19 is higher than the pressure at the equilibrium position, and the buffer strut 5 will gradually extend. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the buffer strut inner tube 9 flows into the oil cavity of the outer tube 20 through the first one-way valve 13, and slowly extends to the length of the equilibrium position under the throttling action of the first one-way valve 13.
