F16 ALT Gear Down Panel 3D model

If deployment of the landing gear fails during a hydraulic failure, a backup system kicks in to ensure safe landing. The Alternate Gear Down Handle (ALT LG Handle) unlocks the landing gear, which then locks itself due to its weight. Activating the ALT GEAR handle provides pneumatic pressure to open all landing gear doors, extend the gear, and shut off the LG selector hydraulic valve. The onboard emergency pneumatic bottle is also used to lower the hook, containing sufficient pressure for one landing gear extension and holding it down firmly. This vital system cannot be recharged in mid-air. This detailed 3D model was crafted using Blender 2.81 for the Cycles engine, with PBR textures and materials that closely match real-life proportions (.stl file available upon request). The model features a simple animation setup, utilizing an empty object for easy manipulation. Key stats: Vertex Count - 25,898; Poly Count - 25,512. All materials are packed within the .blend file, but if needed, they can be found in the Texture folder of the accompanying .zip file or by reaching out directly.
