Adapted Landing Gear System for a Softer Landing of Aircraft

This chassis design provides for: 3 pairs of wheels that are arranged asymmetrically to each other.

The purpose of this design is to create two stages of touching the landing gear with the runway, which should ensure a softer landing of the airliner.

The principle is as follows: first, the 1st and 3rd pair of wheels must touch the ground,
