Quoting KcrwFlyer (Reply 1): it has to do with the gear fitting into the aircraft upon retraction |
Quoting DH106 (Reply 4): Correct me if I'm wrong, but all those airliners with 4 or 6 wheels bogies have tilt jacks to position the bogies for landing or retraction, so the idea that they have to have tilt to suit the mechanics of retraction can't be right - the jacks are there to position them correctly. |

Quoting VS74741R (Reply 8): Sorry but I fail to see how the gear tilting is going to help get a plane the size of a 777-300 of the ground. It's in that position to fit in the aircraft when the gear is retracted. |
Quoting JetHost (Reply 7): Out of the 767 and A340, i found the A340 landing much smoother |
