    Always cracks me up how you can land airliners (and B-52s) in a crab like that. Seems like it should rip out the landing gear struts, but no.

    Big truck beams, strong torque links, and heavy side braces.

    Douglas DC-10-30 has the same configuration. The 747 started out with a center body landing gear. Load equalization preprogramed to account for runway crown. The B-52 didn't have to accommodate crab angle because it had a swiveling landing gear that did it for them. Had to because the forward landing gear was about 60 feet ahead of the aft landing gear. Boeing engineering comment," Never again will there be a tandem flight deck or a tandem landing gear!"

    I guess that is one way to keep the tail from dragging while also decreasing the runway/taxiway load.

    The centre landing gear was needed to handle the extra weight of long range fuel load and a big airplane. The centre gear was in alignment with the wing mounted under cart. I'm feeling a bit continental today.. whot

    The centerline gear on the A340 is a single axle for the -300 and dual axle for the -500/600
    This is correct for the video, with a dual axle centerline bogey. The pic posted by @BJK shows a -300 with single axle centerline.
    The centerline gear on the A340-500/600 is aft of the wing gear, so it would help with tail strike.

    I was once in a Delta 767 that landed like that in Philadelphia. I was sitting on the left side and I could see our runway until we were practically over it! Even after we touched down we were slewing all over the runway until we decelerated enough.
