This project will apply new high strength stainless steel materials to the challenging Landing Gear environment with the key objective to minimise corrosion related maintenance and enable greatly extended Time between overhaul (TBO).Landing Gear is today a significant contributor to the operational cost of the management of an Aircraft fleet. Corrosion contributes to operational interrupts leading to delays and cancellations of Aircraft. Airlines have confirmed that overhaul cost, largely driven by corrosion, is one of the major contributors to the maintenance cost of Landing Gear. Corrosion has been identified as the key factor limiting TBO to 10 years on current aircraft programs and also around one third of the overhaul repair bill. Studies have shown that increasing the TBO from 10 to 14 years would reduce Landing Gear cost of ownership by around 10$/FH per aircraft.The project is collaboration with Messier-Dowty Ltd for landing gear design material requirements, Carpenter Technology Corp for corrosion resistant steels and the AMRC in Sheffield for advanced manufacturing and test capability. Airbus will be responsible for performance Requirements, Integration, Certification and test requirements aspects of the Technology.

该项目将把新型高强度不锈钢材料应用到具有挑战性的起落架环境中，其主要目标是最大限度地减少与腐蚀相关的维护，并大大延长大修间隔时间（TBO）。起落架是当今飞机机队管理运营成本的重要组成部分。腐蚀会导致运营中断，导致飞机延误和取消。航空公司已经证实，大修成本，主要是由腐蚀驱动，是起落架维护成本的主要贡献者之一。腐蚀已被确定为限制TBO为10年的关键因素，也是目前飞机计划的三分之一左右的大修修理费用。研究表明，将TBO从10年增加到14年将使每架飞机的起落架拥有成本降低约10美元/FH。该项目是与梅西埃-道蒂有限公司合作的起落架设计材料要求，卡彭特技术公司的耐腐蚀钢和谢菲尔德的AMRC的先进制造和测试能力。空中客车公司将负责该技术的性能要求、集成、认证和测试要求。
