    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Dear friends and followers welcome back to my channel and to a great video about the BODY GEAR STEERING of the Boeing 747.
    So as we look at the 747-400 you can see that she is one very long airplane, 70,7 meters in length and 64.9 meters of wingspan, not to mention her younger and even longer sister the 747-8, but I´ll come back to her in a minute.
    A problem the 747 is facing from time to time, at given airports, is not just the length and wingspan but her turning radius and width needed to perform a 180-degree turn.
    The landing gear of the 747 consists of four main landing gear assemblies, the wing gear, which is mounted in the wing root on either side and the body gear mounted in the belly/fuselage.
    If we look closely at the body gear you can see those two actuators, those are the body gear steering actuators which can rotate the entire truck by 13 degrees to either side.
    Now the body gear is electrically linked to the nosewheel steering, meaning if either pilot moves the nosewheel tiller, to steer the plane along a taxiway, as soon as the nosewheel is deflected more than 20 degrees, let´s say to the left, the body gear steering comes active and each body gear truck rotates in the opposite direction, as the respective actuator, in this case, the right one, forces the forward part of the truck to the right and aft to the left. And obviously into the other direction placing the tiller to the right.
    Interesting to know, the system hydraulically centres the body gear and deactivates the system if the ground speed increases beyond 20 knots, and comes active again when the speed decrease through 15 knots. Besides that, the rudder pedals which are also connected to the nosewheel steering, won´t activate the body gear steering at any time, as you can only deflect the nose wheel by 7 degrees to either side not reaching the activation of 20 degrees like the tiller.
    But so more within the video!
    Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this video!
    Wishing you all the best!
    Your "Captain" Joe

      The simple rule is if it has wheels, it's not a bulldozer. Bulldozers have tracks. (Well, there are several wheels inside the tracks but I think you get the point.)

    The C5 Galaxy originally had a dual system installed. It had the ability to steer all the Main Landing Gear (MLG). On approach, all MLG would align with the runway and allow the plane to land with a crosswind. It was called Crosswind Crab. Then once on the ground the aft gear would caster to allow sharper turns then hydraulically power back to center. This was called Caster Power Back system. The crosswind crab was removed but the Caster Power Back system was retained.

      As a pedestrian in an area with regular weekday 18 wheeler traffic making store deliveries, when they make a 90 degree turn, I instinctively move the hell back from the curb, just in case.

    I used to work with someone who was a B-52 pilot during the Vietnam War. The B-52 was also made by Boeing, so they had a lot of experience with these things. The B-52's main landing gear was steerable and didn't have a nose gear. When doing a crosswind landing, the nose of the plane would be yawed into the wind while the main landing gear would be lined up with the runway.

    For other great steering techniques on planes, I would definitely suggest the Antonov AN-225 as well. It has 32 wheels of which 20 are steerable. 4 in the front (two sets of 2 wheels) and 16 for body steering (4 sets of 2 wheels on either side). Which definitely is necessary to taxi this giant bird.

    Joe, this is a cool video. Talked to my father in law who is an old B52 pilot with 5000hrs + flown for SAC and in Vietnam (also flew the B58 Hustler). They had a knob in the cockpit where they adjusted for crabbing before landing. By rotating the knob it showed them the crabbing angle (ground moving along compared to lines in the instrument) and it adjusted the MLG automatically. Ones the Buff has touched down they simply rotated the knob back to neutral and the landing gear moved back to its position. Not used on take off though.

    Great video I was honored to be part of the maintenance crew on the AIRBORNE LASER which was a 747-400 for 10 yrs it was a dream being able to work on the queen of the sky. That body gear steering was a great help when towing this beast I couldn’t imagine not having that, scrubbing tire wear would create a great expenditure on carriers and also cause great tension loads on the gear.

    some information to the 777:
    The main gear steering activates as soon as the nose landing gear is deflected at least 13°. A transmitter on the left hand tiller picks up the nose landing gear steering angle. The aft axle can deflect up to 8° (6.5° on the 777-300) when the nose landing gear is rotated more than 70°. when the NLG steering input is

    1 of the best videos you made. As a former bus/truck driver I know all about counter steering. On the MCI buses they also had a manual shut off switch and the system was automatically deactivated at speeds above 30 mph. I'm not sure the counter steer ratio but it was cool to take on a tight corner with it.

      Is the flatulent pigs the story the one with the pigs that flew out of LHR in the cargo hold of a passenger 747 in the 90's. They got scared and started farting. The stinky gas set off the fire alarms (without a fire starting) and they returned. I think the pigs were being used for breeding or something in the story I am thinking of. So they sent them by plane to South Africa if I remember it right.

AKA "Stinky Pig Indicator". You win the prize on that one. I cut the 'BAC generated' supportive documentation for that very FAA-TSO Order, and the FAA-PMA . Give that man a cigar!
      Those porker's were worth beau·coup bucks, and there were several engineers (from both companies, and two airlines) who received T-Shirts with dancing pigs captioned with - "PULL MY FINGER". I actually believe that the re-insurer was involved in procuring those t-shirts. I couldn't have told it better myself!
      It was theorized that 'a unique' phosphate chain may have been a (dietarily produced)sub-component of the 'little atoms of p**p' in the air that day. I do know, that after that event, virtually everything farm or zoo related, was provided with at least minor sedation prior to their flight.

    Oh, so it's kinda like the B-52 bomber where it can steer all of its wheels in the same direction. But that feature is for compensating for cross wind during landing. But I won't be surprised if the rear gears can steer in the opposite direction from the front wheels during taxing.

    In a semi truck we don’t swing left first when making sharp rights . Proper way to handle it is to be In the leftmost portion of the lane in advance of making the turn and using all available space forward of the turn. Swinging left first is just asking for a accident. So sure sometimes in major cities especially we will hit curbs often intentionally and sometimes many drivers don’t understand how to properly make the turn and hit all sorts of curbs everywhere.

    Fascinating video, Captain, and thank-you for sharing it with us. Having read through the comments and sadly noting how much of my thunder had been stolen (JUST KIDDING), one notable aspect of steerable body gear is how much torque and other lateral forces are eliminated from the struts, linkage, and other components of the main landing gear system during ground maneuvers. Given the 747-400 has a MTOW of about 450 tons (US), without the steerable body gear, the entire system would have had to been engineered much more robustly. Not only would this have added weight, but it would have eliminated space that is currently occupied by other critical components. Again, thank-you for your post, and I am looking forward to viewing your next lesson!

    I very much enjoy your videos, given that I was involved in aerospace for over 50 years -- I even worked on the first 747's APU electronics back in '68. It sounds like you've transitioned from Airbus 319/20/21 to B747. Wow, what a step up. I love that big old airplane and have flown hundreds of thousands of miles in them, mostly between the U.S. West coast and Taiwan. There is no better big commercial airplane, but ETOPS has pretty well killed the 4-engine ships. That said, the 747 can be easily converted to a freighter (as you well know), and the A380 cannot. I don't think there will be any 30 year old 380s, unlike the 747. Congratulations, and thanks again!
