FIELD: air transport.
SUBSTANCE: device for landing wheels spin-up during flight before plane landing includes landing gear leg with wheel and spin-up mechanism. Landing wheel is equipped with turbine buckets fixed at sides of wheel tread. Air intake is equipped at landing gear leg with air intake regulators and nozzles directed from overhead onto turbine buckets located at the front wheel tread in flight direction.
EFFECT: decrease in energy costs for wheel spin-up and simplification of spin-up mechanism.
