Why does the landing gear retract into the wings and/or fuselage during flight?(a) To decrease drag(b) To increase airspeed(c) To decrease airspeed(d) To generate more thrustThis question was posed to me in an international level competition.This interesting question is from Fundamentals topic in section Aircraft Fundamentals of Aircraft Maintenance

Answer»

Right choice is (a) To decrease DRAG

The best I can explain: Aircrafts have landing gear that retract into the wings and/or FUSELAGE to decrease drag during flight. Drag slows down the aircraft, thus increasing the FLYING time between TWO places.
