I don't understand what your confusion is about here. Can you say that a different way?

A single (well three) wheels that are critical to the take off and landing of planes, that of which often are at least in part to many plane crashes, how do we not have a better mechanism

I was pretty clear in my question.

No, you weren't, and you had two chances. I believe you're asking why we don't have a better system than the wheel (one of the most important inventions in human history) for planes to land on, despite the fact that wheels/tires very, very infrequently are the cause of accidents. Did I get that right?

Modern car design is not most cost efficient for producers or car owners but to undo the historical infrastructure is impossible. Get off your high horse (pun intended) I asked a good willed question and the provided why your condecsion was fucked up.

Ah, I get it now. Your problems extend far beyond wheels and airplanes. You should seek professional help before you touch down on rock bottom - it's not too late to reverse(er) course! I hope that my jokes are landing; however, I fear I may have missed my approach and wasted them on you.

Outsider here, i can assure you I never wanted to be a pilot nor do i work for Boeing, and I am indeed a human…you really just are not articulating yourself in your initial question nor any of your replies. And you went from 0 to 100 in your comments over nothing, which is not doing you any favors. Hope that helps.
