ABSTRACT:
A retractable landing gear is arranged so as to provide, in use, a highly inclined shock absorber while avoiding high shearing stresses on the shock absorber. The landing gear includes a pivoting panel fixed to an aircraft structure to pivot about a raising axis; a shock absorber including a strut fixed to the pivoting panel so as to pivot relative thereto about a tilt axis, and a sliding rod mounted to slide in the strut and carrying a set of wheels at its bottom end; and a coupling member connected to the pivoting plate and to the bottom end of the sliding rod. Also included is a mechanism for raising and holding the landing gear.
