Marcomies Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 In BoS you can operate the landing gears and LaGG flaps even when the engine is not running. Is this really possible or is it just a BoS thing? Where did these planes get their hydraulic power if not directly from the main engine? 1
Skoshi_Tiger Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Not a 100% sure but the Spitfire had a hand operated hydraulic pump in the cockpit for use in emergencies. Looking at a RAF training film the other day when the ground crew were using the pump when checking out the undercarriage light operation. So I assume other planes would have similar.
