A team of University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) engineers has overcome one of the AMRC's biggest challenges to date - machining an aircraft bogie beam and axle assembly that aims to be lighter to improve the efficiency of landing gear 'and support the vision for cleaner aviation'. The team was tasked with machining the aerospace components, which connect an aircraft's tandem wheels, as part of the ￡22.5 million 'Large Landing Gear of the Future' programme, which is led by Safran Landing Systems and part-funded with ￡12.7 million from Innovate UK.
