767 Main Gear
I have always wondered why the main landing gear trucks on the 767 are "tilted" forward instead of "backward" having the front mains touch before the rear. On all other aircraft that have more than one row of wheels on their mains, they are positioned so the rear wheels touch first. It would seem that having the back wheels touch first would reduce the stress on the main struts vs. having the front touch first. Does anyone know why the 767 main gear are positioned like this.
