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, creating an adaptation for the main pair of wheels (2nd), which accounts for most of the load from the weight of the airliner.
The second figure shows the process of touching the ground of the 1st and 3rd pairs of wheels. After the 1st and 3rd pairs of wheels touch the ground, they begin to create a stable fixation for the soft coupling of the 2nd pair of wheels to the ground, while improving the overall shock absorption system for the landing gear.
Figure 3 shows the complete contact of all 3 pairs of wheels with the ground, initially the 1st and 3rd pairs of wheels touch, which creates an adapted landing system for the 2nd pair of wheels, thereby dampening the impact from the contact of the 2nd pair of wheels, as the 2nd pair of wheels accounts for the main the weight of the airliner. This idea has not been finalized and will require many improvements.
This concept may be acceptable for airliners of future generations. It may be necessary to change the composite materials for the landing gear itself, since this configuration of wheelsets can have a destructive effect on the aerodynamics of an airliner during landing.
