Why the 787-10 uses fewer wheels than the A350-1000
Why In The World Does The Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner Have Fewer Wheels Than The Airbus A350-1000? At first glance, the landing gear of modern widebody aircraft can look almost identical. Large twin-engine jets sit low on the ground, supported by multiple wheels arranged in similar patterns, and unless you look closely, it is easy to assume they all follow the same design philosophy. But if you take a closer look, subtle differences begin to appear, and those differences reveal some very important engineering decisions. So in this video, we take a look at why the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner has fewer wheels than the Airbus A350-1000, and how factors like aircraft weight, structural design, and runway limitations determine something as fundamental as how many wheels a plane needs.

Air Canada Ordering Airbus A350-1000 To Support Network Growth
In our past examinations of the Air Canada fleet, we were left wondering what the airline might do to replace its longest-range and highest-capacity aircraft – jets like the 777-200LR and 777-300ER. And while the airline hasn’t explicitly stated that its intention to acquire A350-1000s will be replacing those older Boeings, it does show the airline looking ahead when it comes to modernizing this part of the fleet.
