An Airplane. Me. My sister when she is mad.

"wheels up" is when an airplane is off the ground. When someone says they are going "wheels up" it means they are flying soon.
No, an airplane does not have legs but the wheels and everything that holds up the rest of the plane is called the gear or landing gear.
It is the main body of an airplane and does not include the wings and wheels etc.

The gear refers to the wheels and struts of the aircraft
Part of the reason is because the designer is not looking for an "appealing" look with an airplane tire. You won't see designer wheels either. The primary reason is that an airplanes wheels are just big enough to get the job done. You have to consider size when you retract them into the airplanes body and also size and weight are primary considerations on anything when building an airplane.
