Question Tripod Landing gear ??

Guys...I am confused ..please could you help ?

I heard from a person who knows a person who knows a person who works for ACSA and this person mentioned that JIA may soon have a similiar situation to FACT w.r.t the breaking up of the run way and that this was mainly due to certain aircraft (777 was mentioned I think) with 'tripod landing gear'.

Now being a flingwinger we mainly have skids and the odd one or two have wheels and I do know about taildraggers and tri-cycle landing gear but this new phrase 'tripod' has got me by the proverbials.

Any ideas ?
