ABSTRACT:
An aircraft landing gear includes a leg having a strut receiving a telescopic rod to slide on a sliding axis, the strut being hinged to an aircraft structure and being capable of pivoting about a pivot axis that is highly offset from the sliding axis. The landing gear further includes a connection structure essentially formed by two panels connecting two axially separate points of the strut to a common axis structure extending along the strut pivot axis. In the gear-down position, the panels are one above the other, the top panel being connected to the strut via a high attachment which is rigid in twisting, while the bottom panel is connected to the strut via a low attachment which tolerates twisting, thereby enabling the strut to warp to some extent when the aircraft is turning while taxiing.
