Some advantages of a trailing arm suspension include that it offers a more smooth ride and/or landing in an airplane and it also is a shock absorber. A disadvantage is that it is more complicated to maintain or repair.

· Conventional landing gear uses wheels to bear the weight of the plane on the ground. Planes use unconventional landing gear when they're not going to be landing on flat ground. They use pontoons to land on water and skis to land on snow.
No, it is restricted to landing on either a conventional runway, or on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
For a start, 6 Apollos landed on the moon. But on the Earth, the main difference is that the shuttle lands on a conventional runway, the Apollo capsule splash landed in the sea.
no nose wheel to damage No nose wheel to cause drag.
Aircraft carriers, frigates, destroyers, submarines (nuclear and conventional), minesweepers, landing craft, fishery protection vessels and others.
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.
It seems like an accident waiting to happen. Especially if u r scared of heights!
Yeah, usually...a lot of tailwheel aircraft don't have shock absorbers, and making the landing gear out of spring steel lets it deal with uneven runways and the like better than just bolting the wheel to the end of a rigid steel thing.
Advantages of a Mars exploration lander include its ability to conduct detailed scientific investigations on the Martian surface, such as analyzing soil and rock samples, and directly studying the atmosphere and climate. It can provide valuable data for understanding Mars' geology and potential for past or present life. However, disadvantages include the high costs and risks associated with launch, landing, and operation, as well as potential technical failures that could limit mission success. Additionally, landers have limited mobility compared to rovers, restricting their ability to explore diverse geological features.
