The final phase of main landing gear drop testing is now complete. This marked the culmination of several months of work to explore the capability of the DarkAero 1 prototype landing gear structures across a range of hard landing conditions. A number of changes were made to the landing gear and airframe structures over the entire test campaign, and several major updates materialized in the final phase of testing.
