Apph has been designing and producing landing gear systems for many years, supplying airframe manufacturers worldwide.

The company supplies landing gears for military aircraft including helicopters, fighters and trainers, civil airliners and business jets. APPH’s Product Development provides the design expertise to make these gears a reality and some typical examples are…
