<div class="htmlview paragraph">OV-10A LANDING GEARS - The landing gears of the OV-10A have been designed to meet extremely severe landing and operating conditions. The articulated main gear and semi-articulated nose gear assemblies have proven to be well suited to meeting the requirements for high sink rate landings onto bumps, steps and holes in addition to taxiing and making take-offs over undulating contours. Development data on the landing gear shock struts in laboratory airframe drops and actual flight test landings show good agreement with predicted performance.</div>
