[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago (1 child) It sure looks like the nose gear rolled forward as the fuselage falls. Which direction does it fold up, wheels fore or aft? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] UniversalBasicJustice@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 child) Judging from pictures it does appear to retract forward. Makes sense to me considering the forces the landing gear would experience. If the hydraulic deployment mechanism were to fail midair you can still manually deploy it from the cockpit and it will fall and lock into place. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago Hmm, yeah, that makes sense because if it folded backwards, well, if the plane were landing with more force than expected...! permalink fedilink source parent
