Abstract:
A landing-gear assembly (1) for an aircraft, the landing-gear assembly comprising: an axle shaft (2); a leg (3) presenting a first portion (3a) carrying said axle shaft (2) and a second portion (3b) connected to a carrier structure of the aircraft; a main damper (5); and a first secondary damper (6a) distinct from the main damper (5). The first secondary damper (6a) is carried by the axle shaft (2) and comprises: an inertial mass (M); and connection means (7a) between the inertial mass (M) and the axle shaft (2) damping movements of the inertial mass (M) along a first axis (X1) of movement of the inertial mass (M) relative to the axle shaft (2), said first axis of movement (X1) extending in a plane (P) perpendicular to said steering axis (Z).
