But the best bit is the claim (lacking any details of course) that having wheels enables the A109 to land where skid-equipped aircraft would struggle,
This claim has been heard elsewhere around the hems bazaars.
Their 'logic' is explained (by them) thus: a tricycle undercarriage gives 3 points of contact and is therefore more stable on rough or sloping ground than a skids undercarriage that has 'only 2 points of contact'.
(The fact that the 2 'points' of contact of each skid are about 2.5 m long is conveniently forgotten!)
