  I have been trying to find the number of landing gears/ wheels on the airliners like B744, B777, A345.
  
  Searching the Boeing and Airbus websites have not met with success. Anyone can give me a URL or better still post the data here.
  
  Thanks.

  if you're talking about landing gears, there are 2... nose and main.
  
  Wheels, i don't know how many.
  
  Design on the wheel contact area for the nose is "Double"
  
  The main landing gear is "Bogie"

  Thanks guys. Thats very fast.
  
  So for the 777, there are 3 landing gears and a total of 14 wheels, 2 at the nose, and 6 at each main landing gear.
  
  Am i correct ?
  
  As for the 747, i cant view the photo. It seems something went wrong with the uploading.
