Versatile Landing Gear
An invention that I would like to see further developed, this is an illustration of a model I scratch built while in college. I believe this is very feasible to manufacture and operate on the aircraft with F.A.A. certification. Short takeoff and landing aircraft would benefit greatly by being able to land and take off in rural areas of the world. The number one objective is to keep it as light as possible without sacrificing structural integrity. A great deal of design and engineering would be required to make it work as an add on to an aircraft and render it functional and safe to use while operating the aircraft.
