I'd say because the radar is in the way? |

i guess they'll install it in 747-8. Moreover every new airliner has it. _________________ India is one of the richest countries in the world.

The MLGs have shimmy dampers to permit sideways mvmt while taxing.

The 747 has something called the body-gear steering...basically the body gears (the inner ones) move to help the pilots turn the plane. It is operative only below a certain speed (basically low speed) and from what i understand the system is locked out before take off.
The 777's also have a similar system by which the last 2 wheels in the truck turn to improve the turning radius
Hope this helps |

I have observed on the A340s that are with Srilankan, having a camera placed in the langing gear area. The visuals are available on the IFE screen. I happened to watch the landing at SG. Did not have too much of a luck on that day with a lot of cloud cover. |

^^^
Many modern aircraft such as the 777, A330, A340, A380, and possibly the 787 have either a tail mounted camera or a gear mounted camera.
I remember seeing one in an Iberia A340 a few years ago. It was great as you can see take off and landing even if you are stuck in the middle. _________________ http://openflights.org/user/akumanduri |
