When a Raptor did that the pilots I worked with were convinced there was an engine failure or something. Nope, good ole pilot error resulting in immediate belly landing. No ejection required at least.

I remember reading (possibly apocryphal) about a navy pilot who was doing their preflight or something and figured, hell, let's push the "raise landing gear" button because surely the plane has an interlock somewhere to prevent the landing gear from being raised when the plane's on the ground, and I wanna see what happens. It didn't and the plane had to get very expensive repairs.

Odd considering the source. Don't astronauts always take off with the gear up?

I can believe that happening early on but not any time in the last 40 years or so. In the case of the F-22, if it's the video I'm thinking of, that was literally one of two times the flight controls got wired backwards during the early phases of testing. One happened at Edwards and one happened at Nellis. It could however be a totally separate incident in which the pilot took off, pulled the gear up, and then immediately belly landed it, but that doesn't make poo poo for sense.

The investigation found Raptor pilots were routinely conducting takeoffs/rotations at too low an airspeed and yanking up gear early. Do that enough times and someone lands it during takeoff.

Oh it's a new incident. I didn't know that one. Yeehaw boys. And that report makes sense. Let's just do our TOLD incorrectly and then not even really pay attention to it. We're fighters, what could go wrong?

Edit: AWACS was grounded in like 2009 or so for a few days because someone at ACC realized/decided the TOLD data they'd been using since the 70s wasn't accurate.

I guess a defective WOW switch might cause it, though in most cases defective means either dead or loving with someone else's poo poo. I could also see someone working on it and forgetting to take the shim out. I'm pretty sure each strut has it's own switch but if it didn't you could have problems if the nose strut is off the ground and the mains aren't...

Sherman used Herringbone gears and other gear cuts. Ressurecting a year old post to combat this grievous misinformation. Straight cut gears are the strongest (and noisiest) gear type, which is why every race gearbox you'll find have them. As penance for this derail I offer this video of a toyota hybrid LMP1 starting up. You'll hear the whining of the gearbox before the combustion engine starts (This is also why cars whine in reverse, reverse gear is straight cut) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqlDPAoY8PM

Xakura posted:Ressurecting a year old post to combat this grievous misinformation. Straight cut gears are the strongest (and noisiest) gear type, which is why every race gearbox you'll find have them. To correct myself: The issue was with the friction material on the clutches. But its worth noting the massive weight difference between a race car and a tank, and straight cut gears, great for racing, do have a limit, and shoving around a 20-40 ton vehicle in the mud often exceeds that limit. A race car should have little in the way of dead weight to move other than its own powertrain and the driver. Straight cut gears are not exactly stronger, in fact helical gears better spread the load over a larger surface. Straight cut gears transfer power more efficiently and suffer less from thrust issues, a keen advantage for a race car. Hi, I build cars.
