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.

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 gear
it 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

How many big wheels in an airplane?

An airplane typically has two main wheels, known as main landing gear wheels, located under the fuselage. In addition to these, there is usually a nose wheel or tail wheel, depending on the aircraft design. Therefore, smaller aircraft might have three wheels in total, while larger commercial jets usually have multiple sets of main wheels, leading to a total that can range from 6 to over 20 wheels depending on the aircraft's size and design.


Does a airplane have legs?
