Why is the LANDING GEAR TILTED? Explained by CAPTAIN JOE

[@lumpheadthump]

I’ve been an aircraft maintenance professional for 20+ years, and I can tell you that very few pilots have this much knowledge about aircraft systems. Troubleshooting discrepancies would be much simpler if all pilots were this well informed. I’m very impressed.

[@bal8319]

So nice to say that really nice

[@JC-xz4ec]

I agree. The number of times that I've ran in to a pilot that had any idea that planes don't fly with dragon and unicorn power makes this incredible to listen to. I'm impressed. It is fun to tell them that the discombobulator in the flux capacitor is the culprit. Especially when they say something about that being their first thought too...hardest part is keeping your face straight...

That was awesome. After spending 28 years as an electro-environmental tech, I loved it. Pilots are not required to know the details. If it didn’t operate properly, they have a checklist, can they continue, abort or IFE. As a private pilot student, it gives me more confidence knowing how things work. It’s an advantage as long as it doesn’t make you a cocky pilot.

[@deusexaethera]

Aside from issues of storage space, the biggest reason for the landing gears to be tilted is to prevent excessive lateral force on the landing struts from having all of the tires dragging against the ground at the same instant. That lateral force won't break the struts, because they're designed strong enough to stop the plane using the wheel brakes alone, but the lateral force CAN create vibrations in the landing gear system that could damage parts throughout the plane after a few hundred load cycles. The belly gear supports the entire weight of the belly during the first instant of touchdown, so there is less time for the belly gear to start vibrating upon contact with the ground, and it isn't necessary for the belly gear wheels to be tilted as much to prevent those vibrations from occurring. The wings, on the other hand, still support their own weight by generating lift during the first instant of touchdown, so the wing gear has more time to generate potentially harmful vibrations as the wheels contact the ground, so spacing-out the contact time by tilting the wing gear wheels more is beneficial. If it were the other way around, then the belly gear and wing gear would be arranged differently to provide the necessary tilt for each.

[@redblade43]

shawn. An eagle lands with its feet pointed upwards - do they have struts?

[@redblade43]

Frobe. You say something relevant then; why do eagles have their feet pointed upwards when they land?

[@redblade43]

Fraud. It took you a while to think that one up; that is not the reason anyway, eagles have their feet pointed upwards to create drag and slow down in order to make a soft landing.

[@deusexaethera]

As a mountain biker, I've crashed and gone over my handlebars a few times, which is a bit like an eagle landing ;) , so I believe I can provide an expert answer to this question: Eagles land with their feet tilted up so they don't accidentally drag their knuckles on the ground and scrape off the skin. Also it would be hard to grab a tree branch while gliding forward if their feet were tilted down and their talons were pointed rearward. The comparison to Boeing jets would be valid, except that eagles don't have wheels on their feet, so it's actually a completely different scenario. And yes, eagles do have struts -- the muscles in their legs provide the same shock-absorption on touchdown that struts do on airplanes.

[@deusexaethera]

@dwarfedgiant: There is no mechanical difference between grabbing prey vs. grabbing a branch. Their feet are still angled up in the moments before contact.

LittleSophia _ I would think it was pretty obvious why they tilt.

[@LegitMoose]

halcyondaystunes surely it's not just the fitment of the gear into the wheel well? That doesn't explain why the 777's gears tilt AFTER it is lowered. I've always thought it's to smooth out the touchdown so that not a large amount of wheels are contacting the ground at the same time, which leads to a higher shock to the fuselage.

Space isn’t he only reason why landing gears are tilted !!! Engineers understand that bracing landing on a step by step process ie each tire hitting the ground one after another smoothens landing and makes it for a smoother ride Bc it isn’t hitting all in one shot but bracing its fall slowly like a cat or a human you land on your toes and bring your self down to plant your feet Bc it makes it easier on your legs to take the weight so you don’t hurt your knees

Ooooh that's a great suggestion for a video, Saahil Mehta! It's called a "belly landing," (among other names). Pilots actually get training and practice for the procedure. If the procedure is done correctly, pilots can land the plane safely without injuries or maybe just a few minor bumps and bruises at the most. The plane itself however.... is a different story entirely.

Its quite cool seeing that slow mo at 1:50. We're all used to having a distinctive bounce when landing, before the wheels touch down again. And obviously the first bounce, the first contact, sets the wheels spinning. I assume this helps ease pressure on the wheels so when they make contact again, they aren't idle? Or is it bad that this happens?

for tack control it's easier to stabilize an aircraft to a surface when you have some form of lateral force trying to push your plane to the side ect.. like a car that's air born can it steer in the air no. a plane can yes but on landing not so easy... Plus if all wheals hit at once the forces of the inertia to turn to wheels up to speed upon hitting the tarmack may damage the landing gear. So it's easier to do one at time.

_I am just wandering, is all this your own research, or is someone organizing /preparing this for you... I really dig your videos by the way... good job man_

I always thought the tilted gear would also give some sort of a softer dampening zone on initial touchdown. Like if you come down on the left side first it could give a gentle nudge to the plane so you level off with the ground before the main weight of the aircraft comes down.

[@willemswrt]

Joe, why are the wings not painted, only the fuselage.

[@iaf22]

Aviation Addict I would say because lift is created by air flowing on the wings (not on fuselage) which is a very sensitive area and you'd better keep it clean to not disrupt the air flow there.

[@andrewjames889]

Loads more weight, hard to maintain (lot of moving parts) on the wing, and if there is paint on the wing, it can be hard to find any defects among the patterns and colors, as the wing is one of the most important, vital parts.

[@redblade43]

Rich. The wings are painted, but they use a special type of polish, this is to cut down the glare that passengers may get when the Sun's rays reflects off a flat shiny metal surface.

[@Dogfishful]

Adding on to some of the replies here, it likely has to do with advertising the airline. The sides of the fuselage are easily visible (from an outside observer) when the aircraft is on the ground as opposed to the wings. Some aircraft also advertise on the winglets, possibly for additional advertising whenever someone takes a picture through a window and the winglet is in "plane" sight ;) Some airlines even advertise on the belly of the aircraft, such as Emirates, so that someone on the ground can still see the airline as it is flying directly overhead.

[@spoppydoggo4365]

The wings flex and bend on take off and landing so with all the flexing the paint would flake and chip off

@@cr4ck3du31 yes i know precisely that it is friction,created when the tires touches the landing area.we may compare it to car tires when drifting or when you are speeding maybe a 150m/hr then you apply brake suddenly thus creating a FRICTION and smoke.it is called "tire burning" as we call it. Getting back to the topic or to my querry to the pilot, how frequent does the airplane change tires depending on category.let say passenger,cargo,private plane etc. Can you answer that?

Glad to see you use the dance step hill/toe, tie/hill analogy to demonstrate the landing gear of an aeroplane.

When I saw the thumbnail I was like "We're going in tilted boys!!!!"

[@robxones109]

My gosh thanks for sharing actually amazing facts! I never even wondered why there is gear tilt it just looks stunning😂

[@Nussholzmobiliar]

Kannst du die neue Beluga XL analysieren?

[@chrishintz1077]

Yes. Hats off to ground crew maintenance mechanics ! Gear up/down can seem so graceful, almost like a dance. Mirroring how a bird would extend and retract feet.

Do pilots press all the buttons in the cockpit in a flight(4-5 hours) long?

[@lukestoolbox]

Harsh1K20 Hopefully not. I'm sure there's some kind of fire extinguisher button...

[@mind.hacker9996]

Nope some buttons are for heating...some are for fire extinguisher (it will shut the engines off)

The video is 7:47 minutes, to be correct this one phrase explains everything "b747"

[@aadityasarma1874]

[@diegoarpino2080]

Boogie is Bogie beam. One is a dance one is a gear part..

[@rogerknights857]

Isn’t “bogie” pronounced with a long “O”?

[@davidnievesjr.9478]

I watch those C5 Galaxies all the time flying through my town. That sound that comes from those engines is incredible. Very impressive planes.

[@brianwest2775]

3:44 I don't buy that. Who would want to land first on a single center wheel? I bet that the different tilts ensure that the pair of wing landing gear strike first so that the plane is stable and not a teeter-totter when it first hits the ground.

[@NAA-XB-70-Valkyrie]

But the most complex landing gear has the XB-70

[@CakraDiaz]

nah man that honour goes to Tu-144

[@StephenMortimer]

it is pronounced "boh-ge" not "boo-ge" which is a dance

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Stephen Mortimer My Bad Stephen! Well it does dance a little😉

[@julianricardodiaz]
