Hi,

What is the purpose to use retractable landing gear on Orion? Is it not suppose to fly rather slow? And then it does not matter much if the landing gear are down and creating some drag. Sure it will be a cleaner plane with less drag,maybe little better center of gravity when wheels are upand look little cooler with landing gear retracted. I was just curious about Your argument(s) for using retracts on Orion that was not designed to need it.
