Do dollys help to soften landings?
Being based in South Africa I am not able to comment on the quality of landings of various Northern hemishere LCCs.
Forgive me as I take the thread on a slightly different tack.
Does the landing gear configuration of an impact (???) on the average hardness of the landing?
Most short haul planes (eg. 737 family) have two wheels on a single axle on either side of the plane.
A330/340 have a dolly with 4 wheels on either side of the plane.
747s have two dollys on either side of the plane with the inner dollys slightly forward of the outer ones.
Surely the dollys, and especially double/offset dollys, help to reduce the "hardness" of the landing felt by the passengers?
