We have developed a line of lightweight struts for UAV of various sizes, from 10 kgs to 100 kgs AUW.
These are made of Alcoa Al2024 tubes.

Our strut are modular and can be repaired easily. They consist of:
Upper tube pin plug
Upper strut tube

Wheel axle
Spring factor can be modified to suit the weight of the UAV.
The strut has double guidance system: two bronze pins/ slots on the strut tub, one set of alloy compass.
