767 Bogeys

Hello Everyone,

Okay i know the B767 bogey tilt forwards at 17 degrees....but why ????

Heard it was so that they could fit into the wheel well.Well if that were the case then

Why dont they lock horizontally once they are extended since they only needed to be tilted for retraction right

Plus howcome most widebody jets bogeys tilt as well except the Md11 and Dc10 i think.

Wouldnt it have been easier to design the wheel well if this was the case rather than developing tilting bogeys and all the extra do dahs that go with it ???

Please dont shoot me down anybody.... only asking

Sonia
