Jennings Heilig Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'm wanting to know why the A330-200 freighter seems to have sprouted a big goiter underneath the nose in the vicinity of the nose gear well. All the images of the 300-200 freighter on the Airbus web site show it, but of course there's no information. Anybody got a clue? I can't think of a reason for it to be there.

eng Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Looking at the deck layouts, I'd hazard a guess and suggest that to cram in an extra full container on the lower deck, they've dropped and moved the nosewheel well structure forward to allow them to fit in full containers with no space left. Just a thought, only other possible theory was bigger diameter nosewheels for increased loads, but the size of the bulge would suggest we're not just talking and extra inch or 2. I'd go with my 1st theory. Will ask our Airbus rep next time he's in the hangar. Eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo6691 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hi they will fit a new longer strut, so the floor will be perfectly level, standard 330 have a slight nose down attitude on the ground Bye Paolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
