Landing gear extenders are devices used on Conventional Or Tailwheel-equipped Aircraft . They move the wheels forward of the Landing Gear leg by 2-3 inches (2.5-5 cm). The installation of landing gear extenders is almost always the result of operational experience with an aircraft design that shows a problem with the landing gear – when the brakes are applied heavily the aircraft has a tendency to go up on its nose and strike the propeller on the ground. The landing gear extenders move the aircraft’s Centre Of Gravity aft-wards relative to the main wheels thus reducing this tendency. Landing gear extenders are commonly seen installed on Cessna 120 And 140 Airplanes . |
