: How do they change the tires off an airplane? Do they have airplane sized car jack to help lift up the plane?
In: Technology
Special aircraft service facilities have stands that can support the entire airplane off the ground, in order to test the landing gear going up and down, particularly after the landing gear has been repaired or serviced. The same technique *could* also be used to change the tires, however it’s usually easier to just use a lift on the bogey [like this](https://live.staticflickr.com/5492/14345979489_3c29e6427c_b.jpg) (it’s the silver metal thing that says KLM on it).
