Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Does anyone know what the lower nose modification of the Tampa Cargo is good for?

The pax version of the A330 is somewhat leaning forward which could be a bit problematic for the cargo version. As a solution Airbus came up with a modification to raise the nosewheel a bit. Hence the bulge.Bennie wrote:Does anyone know what the lower nose modification of the Tampa Cargo is good for?

Smal addition: they could've opted for a longer landing gear, but choose to keep similarity with he passenger variant and simply lower the entire construction and build a fairing around it.Rene Klok wrote:The pax version of the A330 is somewhat leaning forward which could be a bit problematic for the cargo version.
