The nose and nose landing gear of an aircraft are critical components that play pivotal roles in ensuring safe operations during landing, taxiing, and ground handling. This paper presents a comprehensive study focused on the design and analysis of aircraft nose and nose landing gear systems. Utilizing advanced engineering techniques and simulation methodologies, the study explores structural integrity, performance optimization, and operational efficiency considerations. Key aspects include geometric design, material selection, dynamic simulation, and stress analysis to enhance the overall reliability and functionality of these crucial aircraft components. The findings contribute to advancing aerospace engineering practices by providing insights into optimizing nose landing gear systems for improved safety, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced operational performance.
