Man, that’s pretty interesting, Phil. Neat tidbit, but the original design of the B36’s landing gear was one GIANT wheel! Engineers quickly figured out you disperse more weight with multiple wheels rather than one giant one

If you go to the Dayton Wright/Pat Air Museum, they have the original gear there displayed next to the plane inside the newer hangar. That building is basically housing the B36, and all the rest of the planes are tucked under it. Really neat!

Cheers
Dave
