ABSTRACT:
Each rocking arm (9, 10) hinged to a shock absorber (7, 8) has a lateral extension (13, 14) extending at an acute angle a to one side of the shock absorber (7, 8). This extension (13, 14) is connected by a telescopic strut (15, 16) to the opposite end (7A, 8A) of the same shock absorber (7, 8) in order to shorten said shock absorber when the landing gear is raised, thereby reducing the space it occupies in the raised position.
