787 Wheels Up (and Down)
Boeing tests landing gear
John Dodge -- Design News, August 12, 2008
As a sign that the first flight just may be on track for the fourth quarter, Boeing is now testing the landing wheel assembly of the 787. This stage is significant because wheels down and stowed away during flight involves integration of power, electronics, avionics, plane structure and hydraulics. The testing is initiated by an operator (and eventually, the pilots) who swings them up and down from the cockpit controls. Click on the picture in the Gallery below. Credit: Boeing
