I would love to be there | |
It's gorgeous! Imagine what will happen if only one of all those wires is cutted! An aircraft is very complicated! | |
An angle I have never seen before, and I did not expect so many mechanical parts open to air, | |
Woah, nice shot! With the size of the hole to fit the landing gear in when raised, this shot really gives you an idea of how big the wheels are! | |
Hard to imagine how some crazy people trying (or tried in the past) to travel illegally into the landing gear compartment. | |
Excellent perspective on this shot. A tremendous eye for photography. Well done! | |
It is just amazing the amount of work and precision that goes into building just one 737 and there are thousands of these in the whole world. Great shot!! | |
As myself a pilot of a BOEING 738 when the bird is in for check-up I go-around with the ingeneers and they show me how many small parts are needed to make those big birds fly, keep-up the good job, from capt. L. G ROCHETTE AIR FRANCE pilot, | |
Awesome photo and such a great perspective on the mechanics of these amazing machines. Hope to see much more from you! Look at all that engineering....wicked! :-) | |
Someone asked, how did he position himself to take this shot? The photographer is standing in the right hand wheel well and looking over the centerline of the aircraft (called the "Keel beam") at the left wheel well. Great rare shot. Hope we see more like this. | |
Fascinating! | |
Great shot! But how do you position yourself to get that photo? | |
Hope you got out before take off. Great shot! | |
Ohh, it is so complex! How do you get this exclusive shot? | |
Very awesome view, it's nothing we get to see ever, so thanks for this magnificent image, showing us the inside of that 737 MLG bay. However I am curious to know if once the wheels have been retracted into the wheel, is there a breaker that will stop it from spinning furthermore after off, so that it doesnt gyro-spin after takeoff. | |
!!! 5 star shot! winderful :-) | |
WOW! What a creative photo! I always wonder why Boeing designed the 737 like this, with the wheel out in the open. Doesn't that create more drag, thus increasing fuel consumption? | |
Never seen this one before... amazing! | |
YES, 5 Stars! The orange warning stripes on shaft is the flap drive torque tube. VERY dangerous mechanism. Rotates VERY fast and instantaneously. The coating on the structure is indeed "corrosion inhibiting compound" or CIC. Brand name Dinol. Tank on lower left is hydraulic reservoir. Levers and shafts on upper right are the aileron and spoiler mixer mechanisms....aka "monkey-motion". Must be a new aircraft...too clean. | |
It is an amazing feat of engineering , that all those hydraulic components are so exposed to low atmospheric pressures and temperatures associated with high altitude, yet are not affected . | |
A remarkably original perspective from which to view the undercarriage. | |
Pff, so many wires and tubes, never saw it like this! 5* | |
Awesome ! This has got to be one of the craziest angles seen in this site. Is this kind of picture what makes this site so special ! Greetings from Argentina. | |
Wonderful, i was recently in the WestJet hangar at CYYC, the inside looks like that, only a lot dirtier, this an incredibly clean aircraft hahaha very nice | |
The world inside-out perspective never looked so well | |
Does the 737 wheel come up sideways? | |
Look at all the wiring! It's crazy! | |
Excellent idea 5/5 stars definitely | |
Very interesting photo, never thought it would look like that. Very good photo | |
Wonderful shot i had no idea that it was possible to get that veiw! | |
Well designed photographically. Also an eye opener as to what is down there when I land, take-off. | |
Simply brilliant and innovative | |
5 stars for the unique perspective. | |
Lovely shot! how did u do it? great!!!! | |
Never before seen perspective! Obviously looking at the main gear strut, let alone this wheel well, it's a relatively new aircraft. And no, this opening does not expose anything any more than any other open wheel well does on other aircraft. | |
This is the one of the best photos of 737NG L/H MLG and its wheeel well I have ever seen. One of the most complex part of A/P for maintenance. Thanks! | |
The is shot is extremely unique and like nothing I have ever seen before......WOW | |
Viewing this photo is like sitting inside the front wheel area. The mass of wires and tubes, etc really make this a striking photo with the shot of the runway and front wheel in the middle of the photo. | |
The orangy stuff is a corrosion protection fluid which sticks to the aircraft structure and prevents water ingress. it is called lps3.wheel wells are not always that clean by the way | |
There you go! That's a first! But, are you a stow-away? | |
Is it just me or are those wires over-exposed to weather conditions?....won't those get affected by time? | |
Really great shot and informative as well. | |
Nice imagination of how much technology is inside a wheelwell! Great shot ! | |
I would like to see the movie - same POV when retracting and opening. Gave you *****! | |
Nice shot! The orange fluid is probably an anti-corrosion chemical. | |
Thank you for all the wonderful comments and votes. Indeed the right side is the front part of the airplane. | |
Actually, Yes, I did wonder how that would look like! And a day or two later this photo caught my eye! Great shot! | |
How Did You Get In There? | |
Great Pic!!! Im guessing the front is to the right of the picture, but just for the record, can you confirm?? | |
Unique perspective! We have all seen landing gear wheel wells, but the 737 does not have MLG doors. In this photo you can see the rubber seal that acts as a fairing between the tire and the airframe | |
One of the rare pics about mechanics of airplanes | |
Blimey!...a bit of plumbing and wiring in there!!??!! Defenitely need the manual to do any work in here!! :-) | |
This photo shows the complexity of the machine usually hided from the outside world! Wonderfull!! For the United kingdom visitor, the orangy stuff on the walls of the well might be a coating applied for rust prevention, such as Dinitrol. | |
Very unique shot! And in response to the UK visitor, i would think thats De-ice fluid (Type I) | |
For all those who are wondering... You stand upright on the tarmac, you upper half is in the wheel well, you turn towards the other gear, lift the camera a bit and ... klick! | |
And Now for Something Completely Different! 5* | |
Interesting shot, five stars... What's that orangy stuff on the walls of the well? Hydraulic? Deicing liquid? Dirt? | |
Great Angle for this Photo!!! remembering me to my Nightshifts for the Inspection at the Nightstops at HAJ-HapagLloyd | |
Amazing shot, with amazing location, how did you get in there. | |
I wonder how many stowaways have met their fate in this wheel well... | |
Unique photo indeed. A new perspective on those tragic hitch-a-ride stories. | |
Great photo taken from unique position! Well done!! | |
That is what I call an airplane!! Fastinating photo! | |
Well, well, well. Sorry, couldn't resist. | |
Very interesting! I would never imagined such complexity. | |
Cool, just incredible point of view | |
This is Art. | |
Rare angle, gives us that is *not* technicians an insight... :) | |
Indeed a very rare view. My plumber would be ashamed for this, but... he does not document his work. | |
Looks grea and complex. | |
Great Perspective, as you mentioned, lots of colored parts. For all of us aircraft technicians, we know how to interpret what each means. | |
Unique!! Great idea for a shot. Now I wonder how did you to place de cam there...... | |
OK this is definitely not the place to sit for a free ride. | |
Incredible!!! | |
Unusual, interesting view! was it comfortable inside? :) | |
