ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to landing gears retractable between two positions.
The landing gear includes essentially a lever (14 ) mounted rotatably around an axis (5), a rocker beam (7) mounted rotatably on the same axis (5), a strut (21) including two links (22,23) pivoting in relation to each other, the strut being connected to the lever, a shock absorber (18) fixed respectively on the lever (14) and the rocker beam (7), and an actuating cylinder (32) for applying a pivoting force to the lever (14). This landing gear finds a particularly advantageous application in aircraft of the commuter type.
