Another critical factor when designing tricycle gear is to properly balance the load carried by the main gear versus the nosewheel 前三点起落架的另一个不利因素,设计时需要较精确的分配主轮与前轮的负荷

Whereas many taildraggers can afford to use non - retracting gear with minimal impact on performance , planes with nosewheels almost always require retraction mechanisms to reduce drag 另一方面,固定式后三点起落架耐冲击性能较强。而前三点起落架,需要收放式以减小飞行时的阻力。
