Landing strut is the critical component of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which plays a crucial role in landing the UAV safely and gives support to the UAV structure in the rest position. In this paper, landing strut designed according to requirements of the UAV. The landing strut can be sepatared into two parts one is bridge cradle, and the other is a skid. The skid can be designed with two different cross-sections, one is rectangular skid, and the other is a circular skid. The landing strut model is designed in CATIA V5. The modelling and analysis for both the model carried out by Hyperworks software and compared with the theoretical values. The objective of this study was to compare the results of CFRP and GFRP materials by static, dynamic and buckling analysis using the computational tool
