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.
When do the wheels go up on an Airplane?
The landing gear are normally retracted immediately after take off upon establishing a positive rate of climb. There are occasions when the landing gear are left extended for a short period of time such as when the brakes are hot or overheated. Normal call outs after rotation when the non-flying pilot confirms that the aircraft is climbing are, "Positive rate--gear up." The landing gear are retracted as soon as possible after take-off so as to reduce drag on the aircraft, which allows it to gain airspeed and climb quicker.
How far from an airport should aircraft wheels be down?
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.
How did the Concorde crash?
Mostly because of landing gear failures on both take off and landing.

How do you lift landing gear in pilot academy psp?
hold select for a second after take off and change gear
Where is the emergency gear release on a 2007 Chevy Impala?
If you leave your gear down on take-off, you will not need to use the emergency gear release on landing...
What do aeroplanes use to land and take off?
Special wheels and axels called landing gear.
How long does it take to drive from Warsaw to Liverpool?
not that long, just remember to deploy the landing gear
What is the purpose of landing gear?
If a plane didn't have landing gear(the wheels and the "legs") it would have to land sliding on its belly. It would be fairly uncomfortable, damage the plane, and on top it would be very hard to reach take off speeds like that.
Explain aircraft landing gear systems?
It is the system of wheels that opens before an airplane lands and closes after take off. The system also supports the aircraft while on the ground, taxiing or landing.
What is landing gear for a plane?
The landing gear of an aircraft are the fixtures on which the aircraft taxi's, take's off and lands and can be in the form of wheels, or pontoons (on float planes for water take-off and landing).The undercarriage of an aircraft can also be fixed or retractable. Large commercial aircraft such as a Boeing 747 for example will have retractable undercarriage, creating a far more aerodynamic airflow over the fuselage. On a much smaller scale, some aircraft such as Cessna 172's have been manufactured in both fixed and retractable gear "RG" models. Generally the very light aircraft will have fixed landing gear.AnswerThe primary role of the landing gear is to absorb the shock of landing the airplane as it comes in contact with the ground. It is designed as a shock attenuation device. It absorbs the shock and slows the vertical drop of the airplane.
