A Boeing 747-400's main landing gear. Note the toes-up bias angle of the bogies on the wing gear, to ensure correct stowage upon retraction: 707, 720, 757, 767, 787: 10 wheels [1x2]+[2x4] A Boeing 757-200 from British Airways: 777: 14 wheels [1x2]+[2x6] A Boeing 777-200 from United Airlines.
Conventional landing gear, or tailwheel-type landing gear, is an aircraft undercarriage consisting of two main wheels forward of the center of gravity and a small wheel or skid to support the tail. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The term taildragger is also used.

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.

ACNs depend on the landing gear geometry (number of wheels and wheel spacing), the landing gear load (that is dependent upon the aircraft weight and center of gravity) and the tire pressure. Normally, the aftmost center of gravity for the Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW) lead to the critical ACN.
