Aircraft Landing Gear Close UP in Action

Experience the incredible power and precision of an airplane landing up close in this breathtaking slow motion footage. Watch as the landing gear gracefully touches down on the runway, the engines roar and the plane comes to a stop. See the intricate details of the landing gear in action and appreciate the skill and technology that goes into every successful landing. This video is a must-see for aviation enthusiasts and anyone who marvels at the wonder of flight.
Aircraft landing gear is one of the critical subsystems of an aircraft. The primary function of the landing gear is to absorb the force of landing and, of course, prevent the fuselage from hitting the ground. Also another main function is to supports the aircraft on the ground, but also makes it possible for the aircraft to move forward on the ground with wheels, tires, and brakes. Moreover, it's designed to enable the aircraft to reach the required speed for takeoff.Usually made of steel, which is robust, but heavy. Some parts are also made of titanium alloys.

Too butter of a landing. The probably fired the pilot landing that plane.

[@ThunderMappinGamerYT]

​@@county365They did not bruh

[@ThunderMappinGamerYT]

What kind of Airline Company to be dumb to hire a Pilot then fire them afterwards just because of a landing 😂😂😂

[@ThunderMappinGamerYT]

If an Airline is Hiring a Pilot, it costs money. But when they fire a Pilot, it doesn't mean that the Airline gets Money. They will also lose money and gave it to the Pilot that they fired so that the Pilot can find a Different job easily. What kind of airline to hire than fire to lose tons of money am I right? For **Ryanair, They do not care weither a Pilot of theirs does a Hard or Soft Landing. What matters to them is they are gaining Income.**

[@Optimiser113]

Wow! Cool video

[@TrollMeister_]

1:22 The front set of tires touches the ground before the rear set. The suspension of the front set is independent of the rear set so they start oscillating up and down independently. Also, the dampers are wearing out (will need replacement in the future) because there shouldn't be that many oscillations. A critically damped Second Order system should settle very quickly.

[@spider1shadow]

attach a propeller to the wheel so that it spins in the wind. wear will be less.

[@gatitodura]

I had the same thought! They say that any change in an airplane needs a lot of test and safety approvals so it becomes very expensive. But can't see hard to test something like this. It makes a lot of sense.

[@coasternut3091]

The wheels on planes aren't powered at all

[@Danny-ki6ud]

Ryanair has landing gear?

[@user-dl4xe1wu4l]

Релакс! 👍👍👍

[@tonybrown4437]

This how I feel when I am Done Landing On Air sativa!

[@mikeerickson967]

why was the front landing gear so left out?

[@W00PIE]

I do not understand why manufacturers don't accelerate the wheels before touchdown. The plane knows its speed over ground, so why not set the wheels speed accordingly and avoid this massive stress and abrasion of the tires?

[@topfelya]

Hi ! That's a very good question which people ask me a lot under this video. Let me explain it to you. Manufacturers actually do have systems in place to mitigate stress and abrasion on the tires during landing. One common system is called anti-skid braking, which adjusts the braking force on each wheel to prevent skidding and excessive wear. Additionally, modern aircraft often have systems that automatically modulate the brake pressure to optimize tire wear and landing performance. However, accelerating the wheels before touchdown isn't a common practice due to the complexity and potential risks involved. It could introduce unnecessary complications and increase the likelihood of malfunctions or accidents. Instead, aircraft systems are designed to manage touchdown forces and tire wear effectively without the need for pre-acceleration of the wheels.

[@Snowking17]

Wow, I’m pretty new to aviation still, and I’ve heard that Ryan air was absolutely but cheeks, but that was a surprisingly smooth landing from Ryanair

[@topfelya]

Ryanair pilots are well trained and very skilful

[@evilelf5967]

I wonder how many points those pilots would get for having bald tires? joking side,it amazes me how they take all the forces of landing and braking.

[@topfelya]

In United Kingdom drivers get 3 points for each bold tyre

[@thedeeprot]

👍👍👍

Would it save tire wear if the wheels were turning on touchdown . Also making the impact safer. Could the side walls have small fins to make the wheels spin in a forward motion . at almost landing speed or at landing speed.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@topfelya]

While the idea of having wheels turning upon touchdown to reduce tire wear and potentially make the impact safer is intriguing, it's important to consider the practicality and feasibility of implementing such a system. Adding mechanisms to make the wheels spin upon touchdown would add complexity to the landing gear system. This complexity could introduce potential points of failure and increase maintenance requirements. Also ! Introducing moving parts to the landing gear system could potentially compromise safety. Any malfunction or failure of the spinning mechanism could lead to unsafe landing conditions. I hope this answer was very helpful for you !

[@Csxnsrailfan471]

1:58 that’s a smooth landing for Ryanair

[@sherw7635]

How often do they have to change their tires?

[@topfelya]

Every 300 landings

Hi TOPFELYA. No problem, they will start to turn in the draught as the tire wall veins catch the wind and would look something like this ///////////////////// molded into the side walls . Look at the massive shock wave , when the tire goes from z to 22 mph. thanks again for your em and thanks . good if it the idea works and saves wear dust heat and $$$$$$$$$££££££.DM X

1:52 NO WAY A RYANAIR BUTTERING

[@AlexM-vi6tp]

И почему они не вращаются? При касании с землей слишком много резины палится!!!

[@artysanmobile]

By what mechanism? Adding weight and complexity to a safety critical component is obviously not worth the saving in tire wear.

[@TrollMeister_]

Why the smoke ? Because even though the wheels are free to rotate, at the moment of contact due to inertia the wheels don't start to rotate instataneously at the speed of the airplane. There is 'slip' (= sliding friction) between the surface of the tires and asphalt. This generates heat and cause some rubber to burn. Once the tires speed up to the speed of the airplane, the slip disappears and it's all rolling friction after that.

[@topfelya]

Great explanation ! Thank you !

[@sam-nariman6236]

I wanted to see 767 as well

[@eastcoastrifraf]

I'm surprised they don't pre-spin the wheel.

[@UraFlight]

If they will pre spin the wheel the aircraft will bounce during contact with a runway

[@Bretongamer]

Did Ryan and just make a butter landing?😮

[@topfelya]

The pilot knew Im gonna film the landing and he she tried their best 🙂😂🤣

[@satinderchadha480]

How does the pilot know when wheels touch the runway.

[@topfelya]

The pilot knows when the wheels touch the runway through several cues: Physical Sensation: Pilots can feel the initial contact through the aircraft's structure. The sensation of the wheels touching the ground is transmitted through the airframe and seat. Auditory Cues: There is often a distinct sound when the wheels make contact with the runway. This sound can be heard in the cockpit. Instruments: Modern aircraft have various instruments and sensors that provide feedback on landing. For example, the "weight-on-wheels" sensor confirms when the aircraft is on the ground. Visual Cues: Pilots can often see the runway closely through their windows, allowing them to judge when the aircraft touches down. All these cues combined help the pilot to know exactly when the aircraft has landed.

[@joshuaiza7424]

The tilt of the 787 and the A330 is tilted backwards that the back tires of the landing gear can touchdown before the front tires and the A350 with ford tilted landing gear that the front tires tires touchdown before the back tires

[@topfelya]

Well spotted mate ! This design is intentional and serves several purposes, one of which is to ensure that the back tires of the landing gear make contact with the runway before the front tires. This sequence helps distribute the weight of the aircraft more evenly upon touchdown, enhancing stability and control during the landing roll. It's a fascinating aspect of aircraft engineering that contributes to safe and efficient landings.

[@avdheshkumar9883]

Why it's call landing gear.? Why not takeoff gear? It used for takeoff also

[@topfelya]

Because if it were called takeoff gear, you'd be expecting it to lift you off the ground

[@adcraziness1501]

After a while, the tires hitting the runway begin to be a rubber on rubber contact.

That's an interesting question! While I don't have exact numbers, I know that aviation authorities and environmental researchers are continuously studying the environmental impact of various aspects of aviation, including tire smoke during landings. Generally, the tire smoke produced on landing doesn't contribute much to overall pollution compared to other sources. Aircraft manufacturers are also working on ways to reduce overall emissions and environmental impact. Thanks for bringing this up!
