[...] la réaction [de l'amortisseur oléopneumatique] résulte de l'extrusion de l'huile à travers les ouvertures adéquates. Au moment du contact de la roue avec le sol, il se produit une déformation ou un déplacement des masses non amorties du train d'atterrissage [...] L'avion continuant à avoir une composante de vitesse vers le bas, le piston de l'amortisseur contraint l'huile à passer à travers les ouvertures d'extrusion en produisant la force qui modifie la trajectoire de l'avion. 4, record 5, French, - jambe%20%C3%A0%20amortisseur%20ol%C3%A9opneumatique

Le rôle de l'amortisseur qui est souvent intérieur à la jambe de train, se décompose en trois fonctions : - créer des forces élastiques qui équilibrent le poids de l'avion afin d'assurer la suspension élastique de l'avion au sol; - absorber au maximum l'énergie cinétique qui est due à la vitesse verticale de l'avion au moment de l'atterrissage, ceci est voulu pour limiter les efforts transmis à la structure à une valeur aussi basse que possible; - amortir les oscillations verticales pendant le roulage. [...] Les premiers amortisseurs furent mécaniques puis en les améliorant, ce furent les amortisseurs oléo-mécaniques, actuellement les plus employés sont les amortisseurs oléo-pneumatiques, les amortisseurs hydrauliques purs n'étant réservés qu'aux avions de très gros tonnage. 5, record 5, French, - jambe%20%C3%A0%20amortisseur%20ol%C3%A9opneumatique
