IG: legomanufaktur | The retraction sequence of the Tu-144s main landing gear is quite complex.
This is my recreation using lego.
How does the Tu-144 landing gear work:
The gear bogies tilts sideways towards the middle of the aircraft. Then they can move up to be stowed vertically inside the wheel well.
Took me some attempts to get this working smoothly due to the limited space available.
Full tour of the plane coming soon.
