What else can I help you with?
1950's war movie where the landing gear does not deploy and the young officer in the bubble under the plane draws the landing gear on a scretch pad and the landing gear appears like a characature.?
Amazing stories
What is the definition of fixed landing gear?
..l..
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.
What are the forces acting on landing gear during landing?
vertical loads, longitudinal loads and vertical loads
How does a landing gear work?
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.
What is the landing gear on a helicopter called?
It is just called 'landing gear'
Where is landing gear actuator located in aircraft?
On the Landing gear
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.
Does a airplane have legs?
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.
Types of landing gear?
1-tricycle gear 2-conventional gear 3-unconventional gear 4-tail wheel landing gear
When plane wheels are retracted what is it called?
When plane wheels are retracted during flight, it is referred to as "gear up" or "landing gear retraction." This action is part of the takeoff procedure, allowing for improved aerodynamics and reduced drag. The landing gear is typically retracted shortly after takeoff and extended again when preparing for landing.
How many landing gear must deploy to land?
All of the landing gear on the particular aircraft.
How big are the wheels on a Boeing 767?
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.
What do aeroplanes use to land and take off?
Special wheels and axels called landing gear.
What is a belly landing?
A belly landing is a landing of an aircraft without the landing gear being deployed.
What is belly landing?
A belly landing is a landing of an aircraft without the landing gear being deployed.
When does a plane deploy its landing gear?
The plane's landing gear is deployed as the plane is descending and nearing the runway.
