Landing Gear Systems / Hydraulic Solutions

Blaník designs and produces landing gear systems and components for small aircraft segment - up to MTOW 3,500 kg. We provide wide range of related services, starting from initial consultations, through drawings & prototyping, to serial production.

We are capable of designing, building and testing of complete landing gear system including hydraulic actuators and furhermore hydraulic equipment (accumulators, brake master cylinders).

Structure

Full cycle of custom made prototype production incl. drawing creation or correction, manufacturing, subsequent testing up to approved documentation delivery. Modification of existing systems and production of related installation kits.

Machining

We do have 5 axis CNC milling machine (block-shaped parts up to the size of 500 × 730 × 560 mm) and CNC turning machine (rotary parts up to a diameter of 200 mm and a length of 300 mm) as well.

Painting

We do have painting box for wet painting (box size: 4 × 4 × 11 m) and the heating box for the powder coating (Komaxit, box size: 1 × 1 × 2 m).

Assembling

We perform the final assembly of the manufactured parts from simple small assemblies up to complex control panels and systems, landing gear, hydraulic dampers, accumulators, cylinders and pistons.

3D Printing, Additive Technologies

Our advanced Additive Lab performs:

  • Wire-based additive manufacturing (WAM) technology research & development
  • Software development for WAM process
  • Test and small‑batch production using WAM

Our goal is wide WAM implementation in general industries.
