Abstract
The nose gear of an aircraft comprises a main group of at least one wheel ( ) in permanent contact with the ground and a secondary group of at least one wheel ( ), which is normally spaced from the ground, when the aircraft is on the ground. In the case of emergency braking due to an aborted takeoff or in the case of a blowout of a tire of a wheel ( ) of the main group, the wheel or wheels ( ) come into contact with the ground. This avoids an oversizing of the nose gear.
