The number of wheels an airplane has depends on the type of airplane. Some have none and take off and land on water, or on snow or ice. Many smaller airplanes have 3, like the piston powered Cessna 172 Skyhawk. We often call these planes private aircraft. The tricycle landing gear with a single wheel on each leg is common in airplanes a bit larger, too. The larger airplanes have more, as you'd guess. The Boeing 747 has 18 wheels and there are 22 on the Airbus A380.

THREE : all (or nearly all) planes have two landing gear wheels and one wheel that is either a nose gear or a tail gear wheel, for a total of three - larger planes can have more than one wheel on each gear, really big one having an amazing cluster of wheels, but they still act as a single unit planes with a tail wheel (or sometimes a skid instead of a wheel) are called conventional gear or taildraggers - planes with a nose wheel are called tricycle gear
it depends...........a small airplane has three landing gears one primary and 2 secondary.............in a large airplane there are somewhere around 26-30 wheels ANSWER 2 3 wheels or gear, two are the landing gear and one either a nose gear or a tail gear - each gear can have mutliple wheels/tires but they act as a single unit and so are just one wheel

How many runways does antarctica have?
There are no paved runways in Antarctica. Airplanes land on skis, not wheels, on runways of ice.
Are hydraulics on airplanes?

Yes they do because when your on the runway and the first wheels go out then the pilot pulls a lever that pulls out the second pair of wheels.
What are hydro airplanes?
Hydro airplanes are airplanes that can land on water. They have floaties in place of wheels. They are almost always propeller powered as jets could cause too much wake.
How airplanes turn on the ground?
They put one of the wheels in drive, and the other stays put so it turns.
Why are airplane wheels so proportionally small?
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.
How many airplanes are there?
there are 1,ooo,oo1 airplanes

Does Hot Wheels make miniature airplanes?
Hot Wheels makes more than just miniature die cast cars! Miniature airplanes are another one of their popular product lines and there are a lot of different options, from old wartime diecast planes to current models like the F14 Hornet. It's really very neat stuff.
