ABSTRACT:
The landing gear for aircraft comprises at least two rocker beams respectively carrying wheels, the rocker beams being connected rigidly and respectively to two points of the rigid structure of the aircraft, each rocker beam being connected to two other rigid points of the aircraft structure by an assembly composed of a lever and a shock absorber mounted rotatably on each other, and a connecting rod of constant length connecting two levers and an actuating cylinder to rotate at least one of the two said levers. The landing gear finds a particularly advantageous application as a fuselage landing gear with tandem mounted wheels.
