English term

tuck flat

English to Romanian Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space
The Jaguar A used ruggedized landing gear for rough-field operation, with single-wheel nose gear and twin-wheel main gear, all fitted with low-pressure tires. The nose gear retracted backward and the main gear retracted forward, rotating 90 degrees to >tuck flat< in the fuselage, a procedure that must have been interesting to watch. The Jaguar also featured a runway arresting hook between the engine exhausts, and a brake chute in the tailcone. The brake chute could be replaced by a chaff-flare countermeasures dispenser.
