Tricycle landing gear is the most common landing gear scheme in the current days, it consists in two sets of big wheels under the wings and a small wheel in the nose, unlike conventional landing gear, the small wheel in tricycle can retract.
Advantages
- The straight angle allows a complete visibility of the ground
Variants
- In some modern commercial aircraft there's a fourth set of wheels in the center between the wing ones.
- Some other aircraft like Tupolev TU-154 don't retract the rear gear under the fuselage, but in special compartiments in the middle of the wings.
- Another light aircraft like Cessna or De Havilland Canada don't retract their landing gear.
