| Mar 26, 2019 at 4:22 | comment | added | Peter Cordes | Another way to explain this is: a longer lever sticking out from the plane means it has to be stronger to not snap off in a crabbed landing, or during braking, or any other sources of non-vertical force. So yes, the landing gear has to scale up in thickness as well as length, so the weight required might scale as length^3 or at least length^2, not just linearly with length. (The question does already guess that this might be a problem, but still +1.) | |
