F-15 main gear retraction


Recommended Posts

Hi gents,

I am looking for pictures to better understand the mechanism of the main gear retraction of a F-15

The idea here is of course to have the F15J on a stand, just after take off with the gear in transit.

The nose gear is done already and it's quite simple.

I looked in the lockon books I have but no picture helps me better understand the complicated rotation and retraction of the main.

It looks like the gear retracts forward and the wheel rotates inwards at a certain point. What about the struts, does it rotates with the wheel? I suspect so but any source of info would be appreciated

Thanks
