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.
