ABSTRACT:
A six wheel, three axle, bogie type main landing gear for an airplane is retractable as a unit and is provided with a rearward set of wheels or a forward set of wheels that is steerable with respect to the non-rotatable bogie beam. The set of wheels turns in response to steering of the nose wheel past a given angle. A wheel assembly is mounted for rotation with respect to a vertical shaft supported by a fork extending longitudinally of the beam, and a pair of hydraulic cylinders turns the wheel axles with respect to the beam.
