The Boeing 787 Dreamliner hides a genius landing gear design

Its main gear stands over 3 meters tall with eight wheels, supporting the aircraft’s maximum takeoff weight of over 220 tons. The nose gear, roughly 2.5 meters high, includes hydraulic steering for precise taxiing. These systems combine high-strength titanium and steel to absorb extreme landing forces while retracting smoothly into the fuselage
