Design consideration

Landing Gear should locate near the center gravity (CG) of

the plane
CG location are depended on aircraft configuration, loading, fuel state.

Landing Gear Developments

Noise Reduction
As engines become quieter, landing gear is now

making a dominating component of noise in large commercial aircraft
European co-financed research project Silencer is trying to create low noise landing gear design
Desires 10db reduction in landing gear noise by 2020, has only dropped 3db so far

Gear up landing prevention system
NTSB reports that the majority of gear

up landings are due to equipment malfunctions.
Gear up landing prevention systems will disengage autopilot and alarm at a preset safety altitude if every piece of landing gear is not extended and locked.
It can be disengaged if a belly landing is the only option.
Materials
Composites will be integrated into gear because they are stronger and cheaper than the current used high strength steels and titanium
