like, if you're a prop maker for a movie and deliver something like this the director would go "tone it down dude, that's a lil over the top dontcha think?"
Fun fact: When things are a little too large for life in movies, and it has to be dialed back to 'believable' proportions, this is called the *Dafoe Effect*.
^(no its not i made that up this is a dick joke)
Holy shit...I had to scroll a lot to find this! When you zoom in, it disappears. This HAS to be one of those pictures they doctor to put a hidden image into it, yes? YES?!?
That's incredible if it's not...it's exactly R2!
I'm just imagining how much damage a stowaway could do in there.
Every few years theres a story about somebody breaking into an airport, climbing into the wheel housing. Then falling out of the plane, just as the plane comes into land. Usually because they passed out on tbe way up to 40,000 feet and then froze.
I think the design is so complex due to all the backup systems.
It could be a lot simpler if there was a single point of failure for all airplane functions.
I’m guessing this complexity is a good thing and lots of those systems were created as a result of a crash or near failure.
There's honestly not as much going on in the photo as it appears.
The tanks are hydraulic resivours and a lot of the tubing is probably through-lines for redundancy so the hydraulic pumps in one area can feed others in case of failure, stuff like that. There's what's probably a pump for the hydraulics and a service/maintence control that a lot of the wiring goes to and a lot of the other crap is bracing, suspension, etc for the gear mechanism.
90% of the stuff you see adding clutter to the photo doesn't come from or go to anywhere in the gear well itself.
Somehow it was missed during routine inspection!

lol I just saw this post in time for this joke :D [r/PeterExplainsTheJoke](https://www.reddit.com/r/PeterExplainsTheJoke/s/ltvWkbdgCn)
No one say anything negative about Boeing
They're really good at failing!
I've heard they have a lot of whi
Man down!!
They let me down when they descend back to the airport
Is that R2-D2?
Getting in his training as an aeronautical droid

And my car does not even have electric roll up windows because in my head “is something else that may break”.
1200/ month, utilities not included
The amount of things that could possibly go wrong...🧐

The only thing I recognize is the wheel because I rebuild them.
How close to retirement are you?
That tank to the right is obviously a flux capacitor.
🤣

What would you say about their quality?
That's anywhere inside of any large aircraft
So how much of this is redundancy vs necessity vs bloat?
So glad we have smart people to advance technology and engineering cause holy shit that's basically black magic to my peasant eyes.
At first, i thought R2D2 was there...
Now find the missing bolts kids.
One of the safety pins is missing...
Couldn't be more simpler..
Whatever this is
Nawh dawg please dont tell me mechanical engineers gotta design/maintain that
Regular inspections. It's not too bad. Just time consuming and lots and lots of paperwork.
Ok that sounds kinda like what i signed up for

Guess they forgot the rest of it
That is too much stuff.
Thats Insane --- we need people that are trained to handle that !!
I bet you can pull those springs by hand
Didn't show this, the execs will think it's a great place to put more seats.
So roughly, what percentage of this is faulty?
All those wires can't be important. Some must be decoration
Reminds me of Captain Dallas of the Nostromo, listening to the damage control list. "That's horseshit, we can take off without that."
I’ve built gaming computers that looked a bit like that. The could get almost as hot as a jet engine, but they otherwise didn’t have much in common.
Sucks when you lose a bolt
Dang where can I plug my phone in?
It's all ball bearings nowadays!
Seems like a lot of stuff to put so close to spinning things that can pick up gravel.
I see an issue…..
I’ll stick to fixing cars…
Seems like a couple rocks kicked up could smash some important things.
