The Small Gear Bay is a retractable wheel that can be used on atmospheric planes and other objects that need to roll.

Usage

Landing Gear is, well, wheels, that allow your space plane to roll instead of slide and explode. Their primary use is as landing gear for a space plane but can also be used to create rovers that can drive on planet surfaces. Since 0.18, Landing gear come with lights.

Unlike landing legs, landing gear mass is not countered by the physics engine as of 0.18. This is similar to that behavior of struts, RCS blocks, and fuel lines.

Description

High performance landing gear designed for atmospheric use.
