A payload transport aircraft that includes a nacelle including a cockpit, a first wing extending in a first direction from the nacelle and a second wing extending in a second direction from an opposing side of the nacelle. The aircraft also includes a first pair of wheel-struts extending between the first wing and a first set of corresponding wheels and a second pair of wheel-struts extending between the second wing and a second set of corresponding wheels. Each member in the pair of wheel-struts is connected by a wheel-strut stabilizing segmented cross-bar having a rear segment and a front segment joined at a disconnection point by one or more coil-springs, which can be tension springs resistant to stretching mounted to each segment through the use of spring mounting-posts fitted into each segment and protected using a cover that can be removable and transparent for quick visual inspection.
