Landing gear base

Base type for landing gears (i.e. nose gear, main gear and skid gear). An example of a nose and main gear is shown below:

Attributes

Name	Type	Constraints	Use	Default	Description
`@externalDataDirectory`	`xsd:string`		optional		Directory of the external data file
`@externalDataNodePath`	`xsd:string`		optional		Path of the node inside the external data file
`@externalFileName`	`xsd:string`		optional		Name of the external data file
`@symmetry`	`symmetryXyXzYzType`	5 values	optional		Symmetry plane the component is mirrored at
`@uID`	`xsd:ID`		required		UID

Child elements

Name	Type	Constraints	OccurrenceHow often the element may appear at this place. The schema writes it as minOccurs and maxOccurs on the declaration.	Default	Description
sequenceThe children below must appear in exactly this order. Each may repeat as often as its own occurrence allows.
`name`	`stringBaseType`		[0..1] optional		Name
`description`	`stringBaseType`		[0..1] optional		Description
`parentUID`	`stringUIDBaseType`		[0..1] optional		Component the landing gear is attached to, usually the fuselage or a wing. The position of the main strut is then given relative to the position of this component.
`control`	`landingGearControlType`		[0..1] optional		Control parameters for retraction and extension
choiceExactly one of the alternatives below may appear, unless the occurrence next to this line says otherwise.
`componentAssembly`	`landingGearComponentAssemblyType`		[1..1] required		Components the landing gear is assembled from
sequenceThe children below must appear in exactly this order. Each may repeat as often as its own occurrence allows.
`totalLength`	`doubleBaseType`		[1..1] required		Total length of landing gear, equals the distance from the middle of the bogie/axles to the axis of rotation of the pintle strut. Distance is measured while landing gear is fully extended and in airborne condition (i.e., if a spring is present, the totalLength includes the springDeflectionLength)
`staticSuspensionTravel`	`doubleBaseType`		[0..1] optional		Static suspension travel means the positive distance between the total length in airborne condition and the reduced length due to compression on the ground
`compressedSuspensionTravel`	`doubleBaseType`		[0..1] optional		Compressed suspension travel means the positive distance between the total length in airborne condition and the maximum reduced length due to maximum compression on the ground (e.g., landing shock)
`transformation`	`transformationType`		[1..1] required		Transformation with respect to the uppermost point of the main strut. From this point the landing gear is oriented in negative z-direction by default.
