Everytime I fly on a 757, there is a loud bump just as the plane lifts off the ground...it sounds like its coming from the main gear, or somewhere underneath the plane. Anyone know what it is?

Probably just the oleos fully extending and the bogeys tilting on the main gear.

Not having had the privilege of having flown on a 757, I can only surmise that it's the bogies dropping into the retraction position (ie, leading wheels up).


The primary function of the design engineer is to make things difficult for the manufacturer and impossible for the AME.

After rotation the main gear shock struts go to full extend. And the forward part the truck-the front axle with the front wheels on it- tilts up. That could be the "bump" you are hearing.


Is it broke...? Yeah I'll fix it.

I concur with the explanations above. The truck tilt actuator has 3000psi hydraulic fluid acting on it and it pretty severly rams the truck to it's tilt position against the stops. When the truck hits those stops that hard it's going to make a pretty loud thump. No problems though as they where designed for this.

Hmm, I've never actually noticed such a noise in my several 757 flights.

I'm generaly more tuned into listening to the fabulous sound of the RB211s on take off power.... ooo baby  Wink

I concur....but I also love the sound of those bogeys slamming into place after rotation...sounds powerful.

From what I have noticed, if you listen for it, you will hear that on most major commercial airplanes. Maybe I should say, anything larger then a 737 or A320.
