... As shown in Figure D-3, the maximum lateral load nearly reached 90% of the limiting lateral load for a strut-cable coefficient of friction of approximately 0.7. Therefore, on the basis of preliminary investigation, if the maximum tension in the cable is limited to the critical value, lateral collapse of the landing gear can be prevented.
