Very cool. At 0:30 it seems that we see the index tabs that would drive the brake rotor disks (had the wheel been fitted to legs that do have brakes). If that's the case, it's interesting that the wheels themselves are the same, regardless of being a center leg (no brakes) or wing landing gear leg.
I think it was just easier than having a set of wheels just for the center gear..... The B747 had the same thing on the nose wheels. Strange but true, the B747 had nose wheel brakes but they have been removed. Weird?
From one Afrikaana to another, it's been a pleasure watching your videos, keep up the good work!
Dankie, thanks Bru or any other typical South African response. Thanks for the support!
great info
Weird things that people come up with. But it works.

@@AviationEngineering1972 Cool. Brakes may have been planned for the 747 nose gear as in the 727, but then deemed not necessary?
Thanks for another great video, I’ve learnt more from your videos than the big fancy RUclips channels
Wow, thanks!
@@AviationEngineering1972 please keep them coming, it’s the only way I learn about my passion
Video’s good but constantly shaking
