"Four wheeled landing gear"? edit

Every photo I can find shows it with a single nosewheel and two mains. 86.163.197.23 (talk) 01:54, 31 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

See Lockspeiser Aircraft - The Boxer on YouTube. The four-wheel arrangement was an early concept and later discarded in favor of a more conventional tricycle configuration. The video shows the prototype in both configurations. — Quicksilver (Hydrargyrum)T @ 22:13, 3 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
