Landing Skis For Air Force
The Air Force has developed retractable ski landing gear for Arctic use. First installed on a Fairchild C-82 at Dayton test center, the 16 by 4 foot main skis with a nose ski retract into the wheel well, enabling landings on snow or concrete and expanding operations to snow covered and previously inaccessible runways. Slight payload loss and minor speed reduction occur, but mobility increases offset these drawbacks.
