Classic vintage style airplane graphic - makes great gifts for student pilots, flight instructors, private pilots, air craft owners and all who love aviation. Conventional landing gear, or tailwheel-type landing gear, is an aircraft undercarriage consisting of two main wheels forward of the centre of gravity and a small wheel or skid to support the tail. The term conventional persists for historical reasons, but nowadays most aircraft are configured with tricycle gear. The term taildragger is aviation jargon for an aircraft with a conventional undercarriage, although some writers have argued that the term should refer only to an aircraft with a tailskid and not a tailwheel.
