I am retired now but I worked for Boeing for 14 years then Parker Hannifin (Parker Aerospace) for 22 years till retirement. I recognize a lot of those components from my Boeing and Parker days. I worked assembly and machinist duties during those years. I have built parts for most anything with wings both helicopter and fixed wing.
Amazing engineering of the 777 nose gear-especially given it not only steers, it’s pushed and pulled by tugs, supports several hundred thousand pounds of load and extends and retracts!
Thanks for this video! I started my love affair with aircraft at a young age, and I had a special interest in landing gear. I took my love for aircraft, and my love for fire fighting (from my father) into the Air Force. As an Air Force firefighter, I got to be around lots of aircraft, but especially B-52s in the Strategic Air Command. One of the most dangerous incidents was a B-52D at Andersen AFB in 1973 was a BUFF with hot brakes that turned into a fire on number 1 truck. My first duty was the safe egress of the crew. Just after their exit through the main hatch (not far from the burning truck) one of our P-2 crash trucks started putting out the fire. We pulled a handline from the P-2 to complete extinguishment. Another exciting day in the life of a military firefighter.
I'm an aero engine/ gas turbine designer and love aircraft.....it was refreshing to get a video with proper technical detail, so much going on in there !? Thank you, much appreciated!
@@Chris11249The main barrel or cylinder is high carbon steel, 300M. The other forgings, such as drag links and steering arms are various titanium alloys. Inconel and other high nickel alloys such as waspaloy, astroloy among others are generally used in the hot sections of the engines.
@@Chris11249 the gear itself is most of the time made of high strength low alloy steel, used for strut and bogie, other parts can be made from titanium or Aluminum alloy.
This is very interesting! All the working parts of just this one part of the huge aircraft is amazing. Many thanks for sharing! Greetings from a Kiwi aviation enthusiast.
So much technology, parts our lives depend on. They have to work, period. And that P40 NLG Box looked familiar, I worked on that project so many years ago.
I finished my A&P school but will work on small planes. Here at LAX you have to do grave yard shift for many years before you are allowed to leave to cheaper areas to live working for the airlines.
Hello Dennis , Firstly fantastic video! Please do more like this featuring different aircraft gear. I'm currently working on an A330NEO model and would love detail on the gear. Secondly please go back to your original video intro, it was soooo good. Synonymous with a Dennis Vijverberg vid.
Спасибо! Очень информативное видео 👍. Обычному обывателю - даже представить трудно, насколько сложна авиационная техника. Честь и хвала светлым головам, которые всё это: придумали, расчитали, поставили на производство - конечно же обслуживают и эксплуатируют настолько сложную технику 💪🤝!
That must be noe strong cable i see to be exposed to all the elements of being outside in the weather and stuff flying around when going down the runway
@@fredfred2363 the ILS tracking yes, there are also antennas behind the radome, but when gear down is selected the ILS receiver switches over to the ILS tracking antennas on the nose gear doors
Hi, no brakes are installed on the nose wheels is because it adds a lot of weight and they are not very efficient at that location. Main landing gear touches down first with all of the weight on them, making it more efficient to have all the brake power there. The nose wheel touches down later and not much weight is on there to make them efficient enough for adding much brake pwr.
So apparently it's an anti corrosion coating, i doubt very much if that is factory applied because it looks like a blind man sprayed that on, missed areas, running heavy coated patches and just looks shabby all round..... No way did a team of quality controllers at Boeing look at that and say "That'll do"
Over paid cutting corners always crying they don’t make enough money! Let’s go on strike be cause the bathroom sink has low water pressure and no free vending machines plus Christmas bonus was only 7,000$ this year workers!
