How the Landing Gear of an Airplane Works

The landing gear may look fairly simple. But it's actually much more complex than you think. It consists of many components, each playing an important role. In addition, there are many landing gear arrangements, as well as types of landing gear.
In this video, I explain how the landing gear of an airplane works.

[@guillepunx]

We want Mriya back

[@Design_Nerd]

I hope they build a new one. It won't be easy though because the components of the plane were made in the 1980s and are no longer in production.

[@guillepunx]

@@Design_Nerd I know the other airframe for Mryia was around the Antonov factory at Sviatoshyn Airfield. Would be a great opportunity to give it new avionics and better and efficient engines. Sadly also the An-22 got damaged.

[@Design_Nerd]

Hopefully. There is a demand for such planes, so it's not only in the interests of Ukraine. But even if someone funded the restoration right now, realistically, it would still take at least a decade. We won't see Mriya anytime soon.
