I dont know how much is your background about calculation and mathmatics?..but in asempole way we can say that the shorter the landing gear is the more groundeffict you will get ..that mean that there will be more chance for floting ,which also mean that your airplane will get off the ground faster. generlly it reduse take off distance and increased landing distance (more flaire ability)
