2. Turn and slip indicator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_and_slip_indicator

   Intentionally putting an aircraft into a slip is used as a forward slip and a sideslip. These slips are performed by applying opposite inputs of the aileron and rudder controls. A forward slip allows a pilot to quickly drop altitude without gaining unnecessary speed, while a sideslip is one method utilized to perform a crosswind landing.

3. Slip (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(aerodynamics)

   Sideslip causes one main landing gear to touch down first, followed by the second main gear. This allows the wheels to be constantly aligned with the track, thus avoiding any side load at touchdown. The sideslip method for crosswind landings is not suitable for long-winged and low-sitting aircraft such as gliders , where instead a crab angle ...

4. Landing gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landing_gear

   The landing gear represents 2.5 to 5% of the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) and 1.5 to 1.75% of the aircraft cost, but 20% of the airframe direct maintenance cost. A suitably-designed wheel can support 30 t (66,000 lb), tolerate a ground speed of 300 km/h and roll a distance of 500,000 km (310,000 mi) ; it has a 20,000 hours time between overhaul and a 60,000 hours or 20 year life time.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_tire

   Aircraft tires generally operate at high pressures, up to 200 psi (14 bar; 1,400 kPa) for airliners, [2] and even higher for business jets [citation needed].The main landing gear on the Concorde was typically inflated to 232 psi (16.0 bar), whilst its tail bumper gear tires were as high as 294 psi (20.3 bar).

8. Spoiler (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_(aeronautics)

   On landing the spoilers are usually fully deployed to help slow the aircraft: the increase in form drag created by the spoilers provides a braking effect. The spoilers also cause a significant loss of lift so that there is more weight acting on the landing gear, allowing more braking to be used without skidding.
