I find it interesting to note that the B767 and the A380 both have bogie beams that tilt forward.

This makes me wonder why the designers choose one over the other and whether it makes any difference to it's functionality or not (transitioning from air to ground and vice versa). It seems the angle can be made to change during extension and retraction so stowagability in the wheel well doesn't seem to be a critical factor.
