Simulation of float of 19 passenger aircraft during landing on water surface

The 19-passenger plane was modified to land in the water by making a landing gear with a float. The floats used are imported products that have previously been used by similar aircraft. Float must be able to support the aircraft and can accept impact loads when landing. This study aims to determine the effect that occurs in float when making water surface landings. Stress and displacement are simulation outputs that are the focus of research. These parameters are obtained by numerical simulation methods based on Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) by varying input parameters such as: landing speed. From the results of the study it was found that the faster the velocity then the output of the stress and displacement response from the float becomes larger.
