Helicopters are often used for rescue works hovering in the air on uneven terrain. Hovering is one of the most important functions of helicopters, but it is dangerous, needs high control technique of the operator and spend large amount of fuel. Therefore, we have been proposed landing gear system for aerial vehicles that can adapt to uneven terrain as a substitute for hovering. In this presentation, the developed linear drive landing gear using flexible rack and telescopic mechanism is proposed. Design and experimental results of landing on uneven terrain with hanging cord, flight and landing without cord and loading experiment without power are shown.
