Airbus A380 nose landing gear (consisting of a single 2-wheel bogie) 4 wheels, 2 axles: An Airbus A330's main landing gear (consisting of two 4-wheel bogies) 6 wheels, 3 axles: A Boeing 777's main landing gear (consisting of two 6-wheel bogies) 14 wheels, 7 axles: The Antonov An-225's main landing gear (consisting of two 14-wheel bogies)
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.
The nose landing gear was heavily damaged. All of the 165 passengers and the 6 crew survived. The aircraft was repaired and was eventually returned to service. [57] On 25 July 2013, a Ural Airlines Airbus A320-214 registered as VQ-BDJ had its nose gear rotated 90 degrees while taxiing at Koltsovo International Airport. [58]
The aircraft features a low drag nose and tailcone design, minimum fuselage wetted area and optimised wing aerodynamics. [166] The nose landing gear is common for both variants, while the -300 main landing gear is slightly reinforced. The -100 has three pairs of disc brakes, the -300 one more. [202]
A Delta Air Lines flight landed with its “nose landing gear up” at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina on Wednesday morning, the FAA says.
Around this period, the company won several key bids; in February, it secured a deal to provide the main landing gear for the Airbus A400M; in March, it was appointed to supply both the main and nose gear of the Boeing 787, as well as the integrated landing gear of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 in October 2003.
The plane utilises the same nosegear as the passenger version; however, it is attached lower in the fuselage and housed in a distinctive bulbous "blister fairing". This raises the aircraft's nose so that the cargo deck is level during loading, as the standard A330's landing gear results the plane having a nose-down attitude while on the ground ...
