	Tricycle gear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tricycle gear describes a kind of aircraft undercarriage, or landing gear, arranged in a tricycle fashion.
		Tricycle gear planes are also much easier to handle on the ground and significantly reduce the possibility of a ground loop.
		Tricycle gear aircraft are easier to land because the attitude required to land on the main gear is the same as that required in the flare, and they are less vulnerable to crosswinds.

	Conveyor assemblies for detachable mounting to a tractor - Patent 4512687
		In the preferred embodiment, the undercarriage couples to the side of the tractor through the use of the rear tractor hitch lug and a brace to the side of the tractor frame.
		The undercarriage 10 is attached to the tractor through a short hinged rear hitch 18 which is pinned to the tractor drawbar and a side brace 19 which is pinned to a hitch lug 20 bolted on the front or side of the tractor frame.
		The rear lift linkage members, in the form of bell cranks, pivot at the rear of the undercarriage frame and at the attachment point to the auger tube and are controlled by a double acting hydraulic cylinder 41 which is powered by the tractor hydraulics.

	Undercarriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The undercarriage or landing gear is the structure (usually wheels) that supports an aircraft when it is taxiing or stationary.
		Most modern aircraft have tricycle undercarriages or variants thereof.
		Tricycle undercarriage aircraft are usually steered by the leading wheel(s) when taxiing.

		It differed from the XB-15 primarily in the relocation of the wing from a low to a high position and by the installation of a nose wheel undercarriage.
		The next step was the Boeing Model 322 project of March 1938, which was a design study requested by the Army for a pressurized version of the B-17 with a tricycle landing gear.
		The Model 322 featured a nose wheel undercarriage and was to be powered by four Pratt and Whitney R-2180 radials.

	MPM 1/72 'Kikka', by Carmel J Attard
		All of these aircraft have several features in common, namely being twin engine, single seaters, having a tricycle undercarriage and best of all these will make a fine selection of the early jets which were the forerunners of today’s multi role combat aircraft.
		Unlike the earlier release of the Kikka, which apparently had no forward undercarriage location mounting, there is now a finely moulded resin box like component, part PP7, which has a print inside to receive the nose wheel oleo.
		Undercarriage detail include brass etch torque link that is added to the oleo as well as retraction struts for the wheel well doors.

	Boeing XB-29 Superfortress
		It differed from the XB-15 primarily in the relocation of the wing from a low- to a high-mounted position on the fuselage and by the installation of a nosewheel undercarriage.
		The Model 322 featured a nosewheel undercarriage and was to be powered by four Pratt & Whitney R-2180 radials.
		A maximum speed of 307 mph at 25,000 feet was envisaged, and the maximum bomb load was to have been 9920 pounds.

	Conversions and endorsements rev 4.0b (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		Tail wheel equipped aircraft are fun to fly but their ground handling, take-off and landing characteristics differ from tricycle undercarriage aircraft.
		Type endorsement for high performance aircraft equipped with higher horsepower engines and retractable undercarriage requires about 3 - 5 hours flight instruction and is usually coincident with a CSU endorsement.
		Conversion to light twin engine aircraft equipped with retractable undercarriage requires about 5 - 8 hours flight instruction and can be combined and coincident with the CSU and retractable endorsements.

	Douglas XBT2D-1 Dauntless II
		The XSB2D-1 was equipped with a tricycle undercarriage, rather unusual at the time for a carrier-based aircraft.
		Like the SB2D, it had a tricycle undercarriage, but it was a much larger aircraft and was powered by a 28-cylinder Pratt and Whitney R-4360 radial engine driving contrarotating propellers.
		These tests uncovered some serious problems with main undercarriage and wing skin failures, most of which took place when when the landing weights and landing sinking speeds were high.

		This is not part of the undercarriage, but a support for the oleo, which has been fitted to take strain away from the oleo assembly.
		The fairing angled forward on the right would move to a vertical position when the aircraft was airborne and no load was bearing down on the landing gear.
		The original design for the GAL freighter had a single large wheel for the wing undercarriage units.

	Untitled Document
		Fixed wing aircraft are usually controlled with a “stick” or a “yoke”, which actuates control surfaces on the wings and the tail.
		The undercarriage is equipped with seats for the occupants, an instrument panel, the landing gear, an engine with a propeller, and a fuel tank.
		These types of aircraft are controlled by actuators that deform the wing, much like a skydiver maneuvers his or her canopy.

	The Plane
		The Cessna 172 started life as a relatively simple tricycle undercarriage development of the taildragger 170, with a fairly basic level of standard equipment.
		The 172 became an overnight sales success and over 1400 were built in 1956, its first full year of production.
		The 172A introduced a swept back tail and rudder, while the 172B of late 1960 introduced a shorter undercarriage, equipment changes and for the first time the Skyhawk name for the Deluxe option.

	Fujimi 1/72 A-4M Skyhawk, previewed by Scott Van Aken
		The Skyhawk is of conventional post-WW2 design, with a low-mounted delta-like wing, tricycle undercarriage, and a single turbojet engine in the rear fuselage, with intakes on the fuselage sides.
		Similarly the main undercarriage did not penetrate the main wing spar, being mounted so that when retracted only the wheel itself was inside the wing and the undercarriage struts were housed in a fairing below the lower wing surface.
		This meant that the wing structure itself could be lighter for the same overall strength and combined with the lack of a (heavy) wing fold mechanism even more weight was saved.

	ALBEMARLES AT ARNHEM By Kenneth FRERE, 296 Squadron, RAF
		With a tricycle undercarriage and large ‘dive-bomber’ flaps it was quite a contrast to its predecessor, the well-tried but out-of-date AW Whitley.
		Like the Whitley, it was one of the “redundant bombers” which Winston Churchill urged his Air Staff to provide for his orphan child, the Airborne Forces.
		Its tricycle undercarriage put it into a flying attitude even before it began to roll.

		Retracting undercarriage came with the Skylane RG of 1977.
		Subsequent changes included elliptical rear side windows (182G), tubular steel undercarriage (182P), an enlarged fin fillet (from 1973), and turbocharger (182R).
		Other features include a bonded wet wing (then appearing on a number of 400 series Cessna twins) and the trailing link main undercarriage design shared with the Conquest.

		On 22 November 1939, six years after the initial prototype, the first amphibious version of the Catalina design flew.
		The XPBY-5A had a retractable tricycle undercarriage offering so much versatility that the Navy had the remaining thirty-three built to the same standard.
		In 1940 an additional 134 PBY-5As were ordered and by December 1941, the Catalina was the principal patrol bomber flying-boat.

		Not only was the He 219 very fast, with a maximum speed in excess of 600 km/h, but it also possessed excellent maneuverability, had a well-designed cockpit, and was equipped with airborne radar.
		The He 219 was the first German production aircraft to have a tricycle undercarriage and ejector seats for both crew members.
		The author provides many previously unpublished details in describing the development history of the He 219, the technology it employed, its testing, production, and use in combat.
