Abstract: A finite element model of hull and airbags for landing cushion process was established to research structure strength in landing cushion process of airborne vehicle based on finite element method. On this base, the maximal acceleration results of simulation were given under two conditions and compared to the results of airdrop tests. The simulation results can reproduce the landing cushion process of airborne vehicle exactly.The impact acceleration of hull satisfies requirement of landing cushion process. The stress distribution in normal airdrop condition and worse airdrop condition were obtained through simulation. The results show that the maximal Von Mises stress values of hull don’t exceed tensile strength of the material, and the structure strength fulfils design requirements.
