Why do some Aircraft have such a wide wheelbase on the bogies (Trucks), like the
A350 for example? It means much more space required in the landing gear bay, less even loading on uneven ground, more torque during turns. I can think of no single positve aspect. Obviously there is more than enough space for brakes.
On the Comet for example it was very narrow (as it was stored in the wing), did this create issues?
