Landing gear

Japanese: 着陸装置 - ちゃくりくそうち(英語表記)landing gear
Landing gear
The part that acts as the legs of an aircraft when it is on the ground; also called landing gear. Most airplanes, which must taxi during takeoff and landing, use wheels, but helicopters and gliders often use sled-type landing gear, and skis are sometimes used on snow, while seaplanes use boat-shaped floats. Air-cushion landing gear is also being researched. The Wright brothers' first airplane took off and taxied on a cart that ran on wooden rails, and landed on a sled.

Japanese:
航空機が地上にあるときその脚になる部分で,降着装置ともいう。離着陸の際に滑走しなければならない飛行機では車輪式が多いが,ヘリコプターやグライダーではそりを利用したそり式着陸装置もよく見られ,また雪上ではスキーが用いられることもあり,水上機には舟形をした浮きのフロートfloatが使われる。エアクッション式の着陸装置も研究されている。 ライト兄弟の初の飛行機は木のレールを走る台車に乗って離陸滑走し,そりで着陸した。
