Most wheels are not "spun up" prior to landing, and go from zero rpm to that of the plane's touchdown speed almost immediately upon contact with the ground.

Types of landing gear?
1-tricycle gear 2-conventional gear 3-unconventional gear 4-tail wheel landing gear
Does a glider have landing gear?
Yes, most gliders do have landing gear. A common arrangement is a single wheel in the fuselage just forward of the center of weight, with a tiny tail wheel and roller skate wheels at the tips of the wings. The center wheel is mostly enclosed by the fuselage, making the aircraft appear from a distance that it does not have landing gear.
What are the advantages of tail where type of landing gear?
no nose wheel to damage No nose wheel to cause drag.
Why is Vlo lower than Vle?
Vlo = Maximum landing gear operating speed (do not exceed this speed while the landing gear is operaing) Vle = Maximum landing gear extended speed (do not exceed this speed while the landing gear is extended) When the landing gear is fully retracted or fully extended it is locked into position and is more resistant to damage from high airspeeds. When the landing gear is in the process of extending or retracting (operating) there is no locking mechanism, and the only thing resisting the airflow is the extension/retraction mechanisms. Additionally, on some aircraft, the landing gear may swing or swivel in odd directions in order to tuck into their recesses, this can cause odd aerodynamic behavoir in the rest of the aircraft if done at high speeds. Once the landing gear is extended, it is rare that a pilot would then exceed Vlo. Most of the time the landing gear is lowered shortly before landing and the pilot is doing everything he can to slow the aircraft further. However in the event that an aircraft had to be flown a long distance with the landing gear extended (such as a ferry flight to a repair facility) the pilot would go ahead & fly Vle.
How remove 2006 Jeep commander speedometer gear?
It does not have a speedometer gear. The speedometer is electronic and gets its signal from the ABS and transmission computers from the wheel speed and transmission speed sensors.It does not have a speedometer gear. The speedometer is electronic and gets its signal from the ABS and transmission computers from the wheel speed and transmission speed sensors.
How many tires on Airbus 320?
The Airbus A320 has a total of 6 tyres - 4 for the main undercarriage landing gear (consisting of two 2 wheel bogies) and 2 for the nose landing gear.
At what altitude or height the aircraft retract its landing gear?
Commercial Airlines normally retract the landing gear when the Vertical Speed Indicator indicates a positive rate of climb. Basically, when the instruments indicate the sircraft is climbing, the gear is raised.
Why is landing gear called landing gear?
Attached to a gear are many tires. The tires are used the land the aeroplane. That is why it is called landing gear.
Which color identifies the power-off stalling speed with wing flaps and landing gear in the landing configuration?
Upper limit of the white arc.
Why do aeroplane takes wheels inside when flying?
The landing gear is retracted after take-off. This is because, when the plane is flying at great speed the landing gear produces a lot of drag. This slows the plane down. So the landing gears are retracted.
How man wheels on Airbus A 321 200?
The Airbus A321 has a total of 6 wheels - 4 for the main undercarriage landing gear (consisting of two 2 wheel bogies) and 2 for the nose landing gear.
