Liebherr LAMC Aviation (Changsha), the joint venture between the Chinese company LAMC (AVIC Landing Gear Advanced Manufacturing) and German-based Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg, celebrated the delivery of its first ARJ21 main landing gear assembled in China to aircraft manufacturer COMAC. The ARJ21 main landing gear assembly line at Liebherr LAMC Aviation (Changsha) was established by Liebherr by duplicating the assembly fixtures and testing equipment of Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg, Lindenberg (Germany), Liebherr’s center of excellence for landing gear and flight control systems. Liebherr LAMC Aviation (Changsha) will assemble the next ARJ21 main landing gears in Changsha. The joint venture will take over step by step the direct procurement of the parts delivered by approved suppliers of Liebherr-Aerospace. In parallel, Liebherr LAMC Aviation (Changsha) will do local sourcing from LAMC and other companies for the machining of landing gear parts and will also prepare the assembly line for the ARJ21 nose landing gear. Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH had been selected by COMAC to develop, manufacture, qualify, certify and service the landing gear system including the braking system, wheels and tires of the ARJ21.
