The most critical subsystem of aircraft is the landing gear. They have to support extreme loads, there’s no other redundant pathways to support it. If the landing gear fails, it could be the difference between life or death.
With an investment from the Air Force Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer Program, ES3 developed magnetron sputtering, a new technology that can repair landing gear cylinders, making them almost brand new, and keeping them flying instead of throwing them away. Using magnetron sputtering will save the Air Force almost two to three million dollars a year.
