Summary
| Description | Built by Safran Landing Systems (Previously Messier-Buggati Dowty), this main landing gear is standard equipment on Airbus A330 and A340 wide-body airliners. Immensely strong, this gear features a unique, space-saving retraction mechanism, shown in the cutaway section. This mechanism allows the gear to be stored compactly when retracted while providing excellent ground clearance when extended. Weighing 3,400 kilograms (7,500) pounds) this main landing gear is one of the largest in commercial service. This particular gear was removed from an A330 that made a successful forced landing in 2001. It was restored by Messier-Dowty and delivered to the museum. |
