TheSmokingMan Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Wow, really cool. It's amazing that one of those things fell out of the sky and crash landed in Russia, of all places. Did any one notice how balanced that aircraft has to be to land and taxi on landing gear that is in-line and not side by side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speakeasy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 What impressed me even more is the security escort that followed the aircraft from the hanger, down the runway, and then met it after touchdown. Was is just security or did they have something to do with balancing the wings too? The wingtip langing gear falls away on takeoff. I suppose they may recover that after takeoff, but do they somehow help with it after touchdown too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
