    On the a380 the wheels are tilted in a different direction then the Boeing planes is this on purpose or is it a accident? I can’t upload pics because they are too large but look when the gear is down on the 777 or 747 vs the a380

    I believe the angle of the dangle (wheel angle), is to accommodate stowage of the gear in the various aircraft fuselage designs.


    Also, what is up with Capt. Joe's eyeball?

    That's not an Airbus/Boeing thing. On the 767 the bogies are tilted the opposite way than on the 777.

    The same goes for the A330/A350.


    Speaking from RW experience; Greasing an aircraft on which has the bogies tilted the A350/767 way is way more difficult than on an A330 or a 777.


    On the other hand and way more important, with the A350/767 way the aircraft doesn't tend to bounce on landing and spoiler extension usually happens noticeable faster.
