An air cushion landing system for an aircraft. The landing system has an air cushion assembly which is stored in the fuselage of the aircraft during cruise and which extends for landing. The assembly consists of a rigid arm with two folding portions, inflatable bags attached to the underside of the arm, and flaps to define an area of cushion air. The inflatable bags provide primary attenuation of landing impact. Actuators are provided to retract the assembly following takeoff and extend it for landing.
