How does a plane drive with only 2 little wheels and not fall over?

so a plane lands and drives on just 2 wheels in the middle of the plane. how does it not tip for or back?|||There is 3.





2 in mid to rear and 1 in front|||usually the wheels are quite wide|||planes actually have 3 sets of wheels, sometimes more.|||the plane is still afloat when it is landing so theres not much pressure on the wheels until you slow down|||It is becuase (a) it drives soo fast so it is easy to balance,(b)The wings keep is even ,and (c) i thought they had three or four wheels.


;D|||for u-2 spy plane:





To maintain balance while taxiing for takeoff, the ground crew installs two auxiliary wheels, called "pogos". These fit in sockets under each wing at about mid-span, and fall onto the runway as the aircraft takes off. To protect the wings during landing, each wingtip has a titanium skid. After the plane comes to a halt, the ground crew re-installs the pogos. The first pogo goes on the "light" or up wing while the other crew members use their weight to pull down the light side. Then two of the crew push up the heavy wing, allowing a third crew member to install a pogo on the other side.|||Umm planes have 3 wheels if they only had 2 when they tried to land their front end would hit the ground.The wheels are like this on a plane.1 wheel in front and 2 in the back.

Taildraggers are the most difficult aircraft to land because they will quickly go in a ground loop if I let the center of gravity move slightly on the side of the centerline.


Landing a taildragger - and especially my Kitfox which has a very short fuselage - means dancing on the pedals when landing. But it's just like bicycling, after a while you get used to it and know how to handle the beast.





The advantages of the taildragger is, less weight, less drag, greater distance between the propeller and the ground and ... in an emergency, you can safely land in a field; the nosewheel is what brakes first in a hard outfield landing.|||Most gliders and sailplanes have this configuration. When they land the wings are held up by 'ground effect' until the aircraft slows down. Then one wing will drop to the ground and be protected by a small skid or a reinforced wing tip.|||Gliders take off and land on one wheel.
