ask mr google

from google
By way of example, the Spitfire has a retraction angle of 93.5° as measured from the front but requires an angle of 96° for accurate geometry. In other cases the oleo leg does not lie in line with the wing datum’s when retracted and this has to compensated for (for example the Douglas Dauntless). at Retraction Angle | unitracts.co.uk
