unusual facts about conventional landing gear


Dietrich DP.III

The DP.III was a high-wing cantilever monoplane with a conventional tail unit and a fixed tailskid landing gear.


Arrow Sport

The plane was designed by Swen Swanson and it was of largely conventional configuration with tailskid undercarriage, but was interesting in that the pilot and passenger sat side by side in the open cockpit, and because as originally designed, the fully cantilever wings lacked interplane struts – the upper wing attaching directly to the top of the fuselage.

Auster

All designs were evolved from the early Taylorcraft with a sprung skid or tailwheel beneath the fin (except for a low-wing aircraft called the "Agricola" designed for crop-spraying; only two of these were completed).

Kari-Keen 90 Sioux Coupe

The Kari-Keen 90 Sioux coupe was designed by Swen Swanson and is a two seat side by side high wing monoplane with conventional landing gear.

Kolb Kolbra

The Kolb Kolbra and King Kolbra are a family of American tandem two seater, high wing, strut-braced, pusher configuration, conventional landing gear-equipped ultralight aircraft that are produced in kit form by New Kolb Aircraft of London, Kentucky and intended for amateur construction.

Northwest Ranger

The aircraft featured a strut-braced high-wing, a six to eight seat enclosed cabin and optional fixed tricycle landing gear, conventional landing gear, floats or skis and a single engine in tractor configuration.

STOL

Many fixed-wing STOL aircraft are bush planes, though some, like the de Havilland Dash-7, are designed for use on prepared airstrips; likewise, many STOL aircraft are taildraggers, though there are exceptions like the PAC P-750 XSTOL, Quest Kodiak, de Havilland Twin Otter and the Peterson 260SE.

Weller ULI NG

It features a cable-braced high-wing, a single-seat open cockpit without a windshield, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.
