Boeings on the other hand use gravity to lower the gear and the weight of the gear pushing the fluid out of the jack actually increases hydraulic system performance.
Do you want to reconsider?
The gravity assisted gear will be pushing fluid into the return line to the Hyd reservoir. It can't assist system performance.
