Main wheel span on B-17 and B-24?

Wed Jan 06, 2010 6:07 pm

Greetings,

I'm sure one of the gurus out there will know this; What is the outside dimension of the span of the main wheels on a B-17 and on a B-24? It doesn't have to be precise, give or take 6 inches or so. Also, does anyone know the ground pressure of a loaded B-17 and a B-24 on the main wheels, and tail/nose wheel?

thank you in advance, Ryan

Don't know outside to outside, but center to center on a B-17 is 21' 1.52".
