ABSTRACT:
A landing gear assembly mounted to a trunnion for movement about a transverse horizontal axis to a stowed position. The trunnion is mounted to an intermediate member which is in turn mounted to the aircraft structure for rotation about an axis skewed with respect to the trunnion axis. The intermediate member is releasably held to the aircraft structure by a fuse pin which gives way under conditions of excessive loading on the landing gear assembly, so that the landing gear assembly is able to rotate about its skewed axis to an out-of-the-way location clear of the cargo compartment.
