A large transport aircraft with a take-off mass of 300 000 kg has a tricycle landing gear configuration. The aircraft cg is allowed to move between 1.2 and 1.8 m from the main gear.

 (a) The nose gear is desired to carry a maximum of 18% of the aircraft weight in static equilibrium, determine the wheel base.

 (b) The deceleration during landing braking is −7 m/s²
and the acceleration during take-off is 10 m/s². The distance between the aircraft cg and the ground is 4 m. Determine the maximum load on each gear.
