Thrilling Moment! When the Landing Gear Holds the 500-ton Aircraft.
It certainly is a thrilling moment when the landing gear of an aircraft successfully supports the immense weight during landing.The landing gear is a critical component designed to handle heavy loads, and it’s fascinating to know that it can support an aircraft weighing around 500 metric tons (approximately 1 million pounds).This includes not only the weight of the aircraft but also the additional forces experienced during landing.The landing gear functions as a shock absorber and allows the aircraft to have brakes to slow down after landing.
