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, but the light doesn't drain energy.
Unlike landing legs, landing gear mass is not counted by the physics engine as of 0.19.1. This is similar to that behavior of struts and fuel lines.
In the future the landing gear might get the ability to turn, to allow sharper turns on the ground.[1]
