Delta777 272 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 But if they would attach the wheels on free rotating axis they would risk to rip them of when landing! It kinda looks like a VTOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britishairways777 1 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Here are some possibilities: Yakovlev 36: http://www.strange-m.../VTOL/yak36.JPG Yakovlev 141: http://www.aviation....1/Yak-141_c.jpg Vak-191: http://www.aviastar....r/vak-191_1.jpg Lockheed XV-4A: http://xplanes.free..../images/xv4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPetroSS 542 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 To me, this seems to be an amphibian airplane. I guess that the small wheel retracts with a backward-up movement, while the main "big" wheels retract by being dragged upwards. I would say that this is a Grumman Goose.........! http://aeroplanesunl...20Goose%201.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vliegsimmertje 1 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Guys, I just had a look at the picture, and when I see the big wheel on the background, I don't see a hole around to retract that gear. This would mean that the gear is not retractable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
