L-1011 Landing Gear and Brakes: Overview (32-1/2/3)

The Lockheed L-1011 aircraft landing gear uses a tricycle type configuration and is of conventional design and construction. It is electrically controlled and hydraulically operated using "C" system hydraulic pressure.

Because of the four wheel bogie, dual tandem arrangement, the pavement stress is less than most other jet transport type aircraft. As you can see, the gear is quite large (see below) when compared to an average height person. The inboard Main Landing Gear Doors also use "C" system hydraulic pressure.
