AeroShell Landing Gear Fluid (LGF) is a mineral hydraulic fluid (MIL-PRF-5606) with added additives for extreme pressure characteristics and natural lubrication of the fluid.

The lubricating agent provides a stable thin film layer to metal surfaces under light operating conditions. When there are severe conditions (landing / touch),

extreme pressure additive, required bearing load on metal-metal surfaces

landing gear to prevent phenomena such as "ladder crack" and "slip deflection" of the piston component from occurring.

AeroShell LGF AeroShell Fluid 41 plus are additives.

Major Applications

Excellent low temperature properties of AeroShell LGF

Make it particularly suitable for low temperature areas operations.

AeroShell LGF is straw yellow in color.
