Man, those are some serious jack stands! Am I the only one satisfied by this sound?
Now I want to buy a 777 and jack it up, wire the wheels up to a remote and sit back and press down, then up, then down, then up…
At 1:56 the guy decides to go for a ride on the toolbox
The Boeing 777 aircraft features the largest landing gear and the biggest tires ever used in a commercial jetliner. The six-wheel bogies are designed to spread the load of the aircraft over a wide area without requiring an additional centerline gear. This helps reduce weight and simplifies the aircraft’s braking and hydraulic systems.
On extension, I really think/suggest to Boeing that the gear lowering mechanism/sequence should WAIT until the large gear bay doors are fully down and out of the way before the main gear is allowed (unlocked) to swing down from their bays. This will obliterate any possible risk of the bogie/truck from contacting -and getting stuck- on the descending door, even if it’s obviously on its way down. I hope Boeing sees this feedback.
