Has anyone ever seen this type of gear used on an aircraft? I could see it working well for fuselage-mounted main gear, taildragger or tricycle, with a wide fuselage. It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to fabricate from rounded square tubing, plate of various thicknesses, and a weld- or bolt-on axle tube.
