Mi sembra non sia ancora stato postato...come da titolo riporto quanto cita AVherald per cui un BA 747 ha effettuato un atterraggio di emergenza a Heathrow soltanto con i 2 carrelli centrali e il nose gear! Che dire...gran macchina!

"A British Airways Boeing 747-400, registration G-CIVX performing flight BA-295 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Chicago O'Hare,IL (USA) with 293 passengers and 14 crew, was enroute at FL330 about 160nm south of Keflavik (Iceland) when the crew decided to return to London's Heathrow Airport due to a technical problem. On approach to Heathrow the crew dumped fuel, lowered the gear very early, subsequently reported an unsafe gear indication for both main gear, only nose and body gear had extended. The aircraft positioned for a 15nm final to Heathrow's runway 27R and landed safely on nose and body gear only and stopped on the runway about 20 minutes after reporting the unsafe gear.
The airport reported the runway was unavailable for about one hour until the aircraft was secured and towed off the runway.
Passengers reported the crew advised they were returning to London due to a technical problem, about 20 minutes prior to landing the crew announced that the landing gear did not fully extend with only three of five sets of gear having lowered. After the aircraft was towed to the apron, passengers were told to disembark very slowly, aft cabin first, otherwise the aircraft would tip over and settle on its tail.
The aircraft had last flown on Jan 24th 2016, then remained on the ground in Heathrow and was doing its first flight since."
