compute_landing_gear_weight(landing_weight, Nult, strut_length_main, strut_length_nose)

Calculate the weight of the landing gear

Source: Raymer- Aircraft Design: a Conceptual Approach (pg 460 in 4th edition)

Inputs:

Nult - ultimate landing load factor landing_weight- landing weight of the aircraft [kilograms]

Outputs:

weight - weight of the landing gear [kilograms]

Assumptions:

calculating the landing gear weight based on the landing weight, load factor, and strut length
