This paper addresses three issues associated with the landing of high-altitude platforms: first, it presents a manual landing procedure that has a potential of reducing the risk of the landing for such aircraft, second, it describes the positioning process of skids that are used as landing gear and third, it includes the resulting landing loads in the aeroelastic design.
