[0037] The absorber (1) comprises a body (B); at least a first piece (2) located on the body (B); at least a second piece (3) positioned opposite the first piece (2); a plurality of extensions (201) made of a flexible material, located on the first piece (2) and second piece (3), and extending from the first piece (2) to the second piece (3) and from the second piece (3) to the first piece (2).

[0038] The absorber (1) according to the invention comprises at least a third piece (4) located on the body (B), between the first piece (2) and the second piece (3); a fourth piece (5) located on the body (B), between the first piece (2) and the second piece (2), so as to be opposite the third piece (4); a plurality of protrusions (401) made of a flexible material and located on the third piece (4) and fourth piece (5), wherein the protrusions (401) are interposed between the extensions (201) so as to absorb the forces occurring on the body (B).

[0039] There is a body (B) containing the air vehicle, equipment or a mechanism; and at least a first piece (2) located on the body (B). A second piece (3) is positioned opposite the first piece (2), at a distance therebetween. A plurality of extensions (201) made of a flexible material suitable for elastic deformation are located on the first piece (2) and the second piece (3), extending from the first piece (2) to the second piece (3) and from the second piece (3) to the first piece (2). Extensions (201) reduce the pressure by absorbing the loads occurring on the body (B) or on the first piece (2) or the second piece (3).

[0040] A third piece (4) is located on the body (B), between the first piece (2) and the second piece (3), at an equal distance from the first piece (2) and the second piece (3). A fourth piece (5) is located on the body (B) so as to be opposite the third piece (4), and to form a box-form between the first piece (2) and the second piece (3) together with the third piece (4). A plurality of protrusions (401) made of a flexible material is provided on the third piece (4) and the fourth piece (5), which is at least partially interposed between the extensions (201) and/or almost completely interposed between the extensions (201) thanks to the incoming force. The protrusions (401) are interposed between the extensions (201) with the incoming loads and almost completely reduce the pressure, so that service life of the body (B) is prolonged and the systems on the body (B) are prevented from being damaged (FIG. 1, FIG. 4).

[0041] In an embodiment of the invention, the absorber (1) comprises a plurality of protrusions (401) extending from the third piece (4) and the fourth piece (5) towards the first piece (2) or the second piece (3). Since the protrusions (401) are located diagonally between the extensions (201), they almost completely absorb the pressure coming from all directions or occurring in all directions.

[0042] In an embodiment of the invention, the absorber (1) comprises at least one groove (6) which extends longitudinally along the first piece (2) and second piece (3), and allows the third piece (4) and fourth piece (5) to be placed on the first piece (2) and second piece (3) thanks to the incoming loads. The third piece (4) and the fourth piece (5) are placed in the groove (6) located on the first piece (2) and the second piece (3), thanks to the incoming loads. Therefore, it acts as a stopper allowing the protrusions (401) to move to a certain point between the extensions (201), and absorbs the incoming load as a whole.

[0043] In an embodiment of the invention, the absorber (1) comprises at least a first mounting apparatus (7) which enables the removable placement of the first piece (2), second piece (3), third piece (4) and fourth piece (5), and at least partially surrounds the pieces. Thanks to the first mounting apparatus (7), the first piece (2), the second piece (3), the third piece (4) and the fourth piece (5) are placed in the first mounting apparatus (7) and removably attached to an area to be protected from loads (FIG. 2).

[0044] In an embodiment of the invention, the absorber (1) comprises a body (B), which is an air vehicle; at least one landing gear (L) on the body (B), which contacts the ground (runway) during landing of the air vehicle (H) to carry the air vehicle and/or allows the air vehicle to move on the ground; a second mounting apparatus (8) removably attached to the landing gear (L), produced in U form, and moving in the first mounting apparatus (7). The second mounting apparatus (8) is attached removably in a form compatible manner with the landing gear (L) of the air vehicle, which is a helicopter. The loads generated by the contact of the air vehicle (H) with the runway are transmitted to the first piece (2), second piece (3), third piece (4) and fourth piece (5) that are located in the first mounting apparatus (7), so that the loads on the landing gear (L) are absorbed (FIG. 2, FIG. 3).

[0045] In an embodiment of the invention, the absorber (1) comprises the extension (201) and the protrusion (401) which are made of a polymer material and increase an absorbing threshold. Thanks to the extension (201) and protrusion (401) made of a polymer material, flexible extensions (201) and protrusions (401) with an improved absorbing capability are obtained. In an embodiment of the invention, the absorber (1) comprises extension (201) and/or protrusion (401) produced by an additive manufacturing method, thereby being flexible and/or highly durable. With the additive manufacturing method, the extension (201) and protrusion (401) can be produced easily, in a design determined by the user or manufacturer.

[0046] In an embodiment of the invention, the absorber (1) comprises the extension (201) extending from the first piece (2) to the second piece (3) and from the second piece (3) to the first piece, with a narrowing cross-sectional area. The narrowing cross-sectional area of the extensions (201) enables the extensions to bend under a load, from the pointed tip to the other, wider tip, thereby improving the absorbing.

[0047] In an embodiment of the invention, the absorber (1) comprises the protrusion (401) extending from the third piece (4) to the first piece (2) or the second piece (3) and from the fourth piece (5) to the first piece (2) or the second piece (3), with a narrowing cross-sectional area. The narrowing cross-sectional area of the protrusions (401) enables them to be interposed between the extensions (201) easily, and to bend under a load, from the pointed tip to the other, wider tip, thereby improving the absorbing.

[0048] In an embodiment of the invention, the absorber (1) comprises a plurality of protrusions (401) interposed sequentially between the extensions (201) in a domino effect, when a force is applied to the third piece (4) or the fourth piece (5). As the protrusions (401) are interposed between the extensions (201), they push the plurality of extensions (201), causing them to bend and improve the absorbing.
