What type of landing gear is typically used in Frontier Aircraft?

The typical type of landing gear used in Frontier Aircraft is tricycle landing gear. This configuration features two main wheels located under the wings or fuselage and a nose wheel at the front. The design offers improved stability during takeoff and landing, which is crucial for commercial operations.

Tricycle landing gear enhances visibility for the pilot during taxiing and while on the runway, allowing for easier maneuverability. Additionally, this type of gear helps to distribute the aircraft’s weight more evenly, reducing wear and tear on the tires and airframe.

In contrast, tail-wheel landing gear, commonly associated with older or smaller aircraft, can create challenges in visibility and stability on the ground. Monowheel landing gear is a rare configuration not typically seen in commercial aviation. Skid landing gear, often found in helicopters or certain military aircraft, is not applicable to the design requirements of commercial airliners like those in the Frontier fleet.
