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.

What are the pros and cons of bikes with 29 wheels?
A bigger wheel rolls smoother over roots, branches and stones. Bigger wheels have more inertia, so getting a 29er up to speed will be heavier than a 26". Bigger wheels are proportionally weaker sideways, as they use the same width hubs as 26" wheels.
Where do the wheels go in an airplane after its of the ground?
If the airplane has "retractable" landing gear, the wheels and struts fold up inside the wings, or belly, or engine compartment of the plane. Sometimes openings where the wheels go (wheel wells) are covered with doors when the gear is retracted, but sometimes the gear itself has a cover on one side and that's the side that forms the flat surface on the bottom of the airplane when the gear is retracted. Some small aircraft have "fixed landing gear." Those wheels don't go anywhere. They just hang in the air as the plane flies. These airplanes rarely go over 180 miles per hour, so the gear is not damaged by the wind. With bigger and faster aircraft the gear must be retractable so it is not damaged.
Which is best BMX for a tall rider?
If you're 6ft and want a strong, fast bike that's good for freestyle and trails, try the Faction Zeitgeist. Its got 22" wheels, so it looks proportionally better for tall riders.
Does a Lifetime 1221 Pro Court Height-Adjustable Portable Basketball System have wheels?
Yes, there are two small wheels in the front so it can be moved only when tilted.
Why are motorbikes back wheels so small?
one reason for yourself to ride forward like a movemonet
Why are bikes wheels so thin?
A smaller wheel will have less rotational inertia - it will be easier to get it spinning. A smaller wheel will also make the overall length of the bike shorter - an advantage during storage. A smaller wheel will also be proportionally stronger sideways - which is an advantage during hard riding. The downside of all this though is that a small bump in the road will be a proportionally bigger obstacle than for a bigger wheel, which makes the ride harsher. If you're a really fast rider the smaller wheel will offer a lower top gear ratio than a bigger wheel, which will either limit your top speed or force you to get custom chainwheels to compensate.
why does some lawnmower have large rear wheels and the front one small?
The small front wheels allow the wheels to be turned in the alloted space. Additionally, the front axle is a dead axle - it does not drive the machine - so the need for traction and weight distribution on that axle is much less than it is for the live (rear) axle.
How long is an airplane?
the length of an airplane depends on the type of an airplane. So we cant reallyanswer your question
Can a pit bike do the same as a dirt bike?
Yes, but a pit bike has much small wheels so I would be careful.
How many wheels airplane have?
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.The number of wheels an airplane has depends on the type of airplane.

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 gearit 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
Why an airplane lands on his behind wheels?
Most airplanes today have a set of landing gear under their wings and one under the nose. Earlier planes had wheels under the wings and a rear wheel on the very tail. So, I'm not sure what your question relates to. But aircraft are designed to land on their main landing gear. These are built stronger to take the impact loads of landing and stopping the aircraft descent. Also, the airplane is usually approaching at a slight Nose Up angle, so it would seem natural to have the gear at the center of the airplane or a little aft as that will be the first part to touch the ground. Finally, the gear is designed to hold the weight of the aircraft. The center of gravity of the aircraft is at the front part of the wing or at the center of where the wing attaches to the fuselage. The landing gear needs to be close or exactly on the center of gravity of the airplane. As stated above, these are usually the rear wheels.
Big?
So big or very big
