Attached to a gear are many tires. The tires are used the land the aeroplane. That is why it is called landing gear.
Amazing stories
..l..
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.

No.This question probably stems from a misunderstanding of a term. Likely came from the fact that the undercarriage of an aircraft is often referred to, at least in the U.S. as Landing Gear.Answer 2Aircraft landing gears can have gears similar to a car's rack and pinion steering mechanism that turns the lower piston of the Nose landing gear. The rack and pinion would be operated with hydraulic pressure. Reference Airbus airliners. The first answer seems to refer to the retract mechanism. Most gears are retracted and extended using some hydraulic power and the kinematic design of the strut and its links and pivot points.The Concord had a mechanism that pulled up the Main landing gear to make it shorter just before it rotated into the wheel well during Retraction. Otherwise, the gear was too long to go inside the wheel well. I'm not sure exactly how this worked but I think it was with the use of a mechanical linkage that may have used a bell crank or a gear.I don't know of any Landing Gear that uses a ball-screw actuator to retract and extend it, which is commonly used for flight controls.
It is just called 'landing gear'
On the Landing gear
The wheels along with the system is called Landing Gear. The Landing Gear can be retracted soon after take-off. Stationary landing gears slow the aircraft down.

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.
All of the landing gear on the particular aircraft.
A Boeing 767 aircraft has a total of 10 wheels. Two on the front landing gear, 4 on each of the two main landing gear.
A belly landing is a landing of an aircraft without the landing gear being deployed.
A belly landing is a landing of an aircraft without the landing gear being deployed.
The plane's landing gear is deployed as the plane is descending and nearing the runway.
Special wheels and axels called landing gear.
The SR-71 had tricycle landing gear made of titanium.
