Not bloody likely. Never flew a Stratocruiser...but on every airplane I've ever heard of with tricylce gear, the nosegear is always the weakest. Remember, the mission of the nosegear is mostly directional control. It's the mainwheels that support the lion's share of the aircraft's weight.waka said:I read once that on a Boeing 377 (I believe), the preferred landing attitude was nosewheel hits first.
Sorry pal, but not even your hero Avbug is going to be able to answer this one...because there aren't any tricycle-gear fixed-wing aircraft that are meant to be landed nosewheel first. What would be the point?waka said:My original question asked if anyone can elaborate on why the Boeing 377 is landed nosewheel first. Avbug?
