How These Enormous Landing Gear Can Support 400 Tons Aircraft

Welcome back to the our channel for a discussion about how landing gear for massive Civilian and Military Planes is designed, constructed, and maintained. As mentioned earlier by Bill Luce, your facts need to be revised. The landing gears on the A380 were in fact design by two different companies. Safran designed the Nose Landing Gear and it's components, nothing else. United Technologies Aerospace Systems (formerly Goodrich Aerospace), turned Collins, now Raytheon Technologies designed and manufactured the mains; the body gears and wing gears. I remember when I was a kid long time ago at my grandfather's farm one day we heard a story one guy from our village bought an old landing gear at junk yard and he mounted the tyres on his tractor trailer, it took five men to set one tire for a whole day. He said this will last forever and he took a hammer and a knail try to puncture the tyre and nothing happens. Fortunately they were very strong and well built. Considering the weight of the plane and its passengers. Also having the means to withstand the force it takes to land. Also credit must be given to the pilot - copilot to land safely so that the front wheels don't bounce.
