CSeries: Landing Gear and Air Management
Systems by Liebherr-Aerospace
Liebherr-Aerospace develops and sup-
plies the highly integrated nose and main
landing gear systems, including all me-
chanical, hydraulic and electrical hard-
ware and software applications, as well
as the complete air management system
to Bombardier’s CSeries* program.
The jet airliner family is specifically de-
signed for the 100 to 149 seats segment.
With a 15-percent operating cost advan-
tage compared to other aircraft sched-
uled for entry into service in 2013, it sets
new standards.
Liebherr puts high demands on its prod-
ucts, which are clean and simplified,
service and maintenance friendly. They
are of light weight and robust with high
reparability. Noise reduced, they meet
future acoustic regulations. Furthermore
the main landing gear features an inno-
vative main fitting.
For the development of the CSeries
systems a team of more than 120
engineers was set up. Located in
Lindenberg (Germany), Toulouse (France)
and Montreal (Canada) they ensure
both highest efficiency and custom-
er proximity.
The supply chain is arranged to meet
the demands of a global aircraft pro-
gram; the systems are assembled in
Lindenberg, Toulouse and in Montre-
al, and completed with parts sourced
in North America. This competitive con-
cept, and the market potential related to
it, will strengthen Liebherr’s presence in
the North American aircraft market.
