On my aircraft, the bogies are tilted nose up for landing. The action of landing and tilting the bogie compresses a piston called the 'hop damper', which has the sole purpose of damping out the landing, thus saving G&Ts/Martinis. On gear retraction, another jack tilts the bogie nose down so it fits in the well.
This aircraft however, was built in the days when the British Aircraft industry built proper airliners, and money was no object!
Which aircraft am I talking about?
(BEagle is excluded from this question!)
