July 4, 200916 yr They distribute the weight better across a larger area, which means they can use the shoulder areas of less well developed airports without damaging the taxiways. It's the same reason why the 747 had more wheels than the 707; despite being bigger and heavier, it gave the bigger Boeing a similar average footprint to the smaller 707.Al Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
