[AlaskaRC] Boeing 767 Landing Gear

[Mike]

I wonder how many of those passengers had to have thier underwear pulled from thier daary air!!!!  I love to fly and would have been all smiles with that landing.  I find it amazing something that heavy can fly at all.

  Now here is a very good reason to drive when possible.



  :











  This is incredible…………..both the plane and the pilots are true heros…..!!!







          The slow motion, close-up, shots are enlightening. Boeing designers and the workers that built the parts deserve some applause here...  















          Boeing 767 Landing Gear Banged To Its Limits










               
               



                

          What happens when a 120-ton Boeing 767 encounters severe turbulence just before touching down on Runway 15 at Birmingham Airport in England?
                 



          The flexing wings show how much the wind is affecting the landing, with 35 knot crosswind gusts perpendicular to the runway.  The wings are intentionally built to flex like this.  It is reassuring that the undercarriage can take this much stress without breaking apart.
