what is hydraulics
The landing gears of the plane i.e. the wheels work on hydraulic pressure. For this, different pistons and cylinders are used, which are filled with oil. When the oil in the piston of one side is pressurized with pressure, the same pressure is reached in the piston of the other side. When this system malfunctions, the aircraft’s wheels do not open properly during landing. This condition can be dangerous.
