I'm not sure I understand the question correctly, but all 747 gears do tilt in flight.

Yes, it's to fit into the bay - saves space without changing the gear geometry.
The 747 has so many tyres hanging out at all these odd angles - airborne the feet look all akimbo.

The 767 gear tilts that particular way so it can be stowed easily on retraction.
The fact that Boeing gears tilt, whether it be forward or aft, is part of the signalling mechanism that the aircraft is either on the ground "untilted" or airborne "tilted."

Re: Gear tilt down of B767
Hello kuobin
You have just asked the question we ask all apprentices....
The answer is....
So the landing gear fits into the landing gear bay.
The only reason any gear tilts is to fit into the hole made to store them during flight.
