Centipede! UR-82072, one of seven An-124 Ruslan freighters with Antonov Airlines, makes its recent arrival at DFW. The main landing gears of the An-124 consist of five individual main gear legs on each side, each leg with two tires. The landing gear retracts inward with two hinged doors on the outside and a single door inboard that closes after the gear is lowered. The doors are made of composites. Each unit can retract individually for maintenance and tire changes. The aft most units on each side can pivot to assist with steering. Behind the aft-most main landing gear unit in the main landing gear fairing is an auxiliary power unit. One APU is designated as the "full time" APU with the other APU used as back up and for supplemental needs. #avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #DFW #DallasFortWorth #Texas #airport #planespotting #instaplane #Antonov #An124 #Airlines #UR82072 #Ruslan #Condor #instagramaviation #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation (at DFW Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaP2f7rpvrg/?utm_medium=tumblr
