ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to landing gears. The described landing gear is characterized essentially by the fact that it comprises a leg (3) at one end of which is fixed a wheel (14 ) for rolling around a pivoting pin (11), a shock absorber (15) of which one end (22) is connected to leg (3), a strut (24) whose end is connected to leg (3) and links (39, 37, 41) connecting the end of strut (24) to the pivoting pin (11) so as to cause the wheel to pivot when the landing gear is retracted. This landing gear finds an advantageous application as a fuselage landing gear of the tripod type.
