ABSTRACT:
A three wheeled, generally in line, articulated landing gear with the lever trailing the lever hinge axis, applied in a pair. Each shock strut, axle, and rolling assembly counter twist 90.degree. upon retraction about a laterally offset post to present the smallest frontal area or pod size. The twisting mechanism, the door links and the over center down lock are all tied mechanically to the gear so that no other sequencing is required during gear retraction or extension.
