ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to raisable landing gear including a shock absorber having a strut and a sliding rod, together with a two-alignment hinged side-brace. According to the invention, unlocking means are provided to break the secondary alignment, thereby breaking the main alignment while the landing gear is being raised, said means being essentially constituted by a lever mounted to rotate on one of the arms of the main alignment, and by a motor and gear box assembly for driving said rotary lever in rotation and further including an unlocking arm that, when said motor and gear box assembly is in action, co-operates with the lower arm of the secondary alignment to break said secondary alignment. Return means are also associated with the rotary lever to ensure that it returns to its initial position when the landing gear is raised.
