ABSTRACT:
The landing gear units for a high-wing aircraft are retractable into a single elongated carrier, which in turn revolves at a midpoint about a vertical axis in the fuselage. When deployed the carrier extends transversely outwardly from opposite sides of the fuselage to position the landing wheels in a transverse array. When stowed, with the wheels retracted into the carrier, the carrier is rotated into a longitudinal notch in the bottom of the fuselage.
