Aircraft Landing Gear Market 2025 to 2032: Supply Constraints, Backlog Economics and the Titanium Shock →What Changed
On July 30, 2026, DARPA initiated research programs aimed at developing alternative high-strength materials to replace titanium in structural landing gear applications. Concurrently, additive manufacturing providers like Norsk Titanium are expanding qualified supply routes to bypass traditional forging bottlenecks. These shifts mark a strategic move by defense and commercial sectors to reduce dependence on Russian and concentrated titanium supply chains.
