A320 performance Question for Air India
I hope someone at Air India is reading this.
Air India Operates A320s with both 2 wheel MLG bogies and 4 wheel MLG bogies.
I would like to know what Accelerate-Stop advantage, if any, the 4 wheeled version has over the 2 wheeled version.
I imagine that the 4 wheeled version was not ordered just for Pavement Classification Reasons but for performance reasons as well, since the better braking should theoretically allow the 4 wheeled version to take off from shorter runways, especially in hot conditions.
Does anyone have actual figures ?
