Abstract Springs play a crucial role in airplane landing gear down-lock mechanisms. It is necessary to consider the
coordination between springs in down-lock mechanism and unlock actuator, the springs behavior impact on gear during
retraction and extension, and the free fall situation. The design process of springs on down-lock mechanisms is discussed,
specifications of springs design are listed, a new method different from force analysis is provided, and an example of
springs on down-lock mechanism design is given.
