Abstract:
An aircraft landing gear 2 is disclosed having a first arm 6a configured to have one or more wheels 8a mounted at one end, the first arm 6a being configured for mounting to a pivot 10a. The landing gear 2 includes a second arm 6b configured to have one or more wheels 8b mounted at one end, the second arm 6b being configured for mounting to a pivot 10b. The landing gear 2 further includes a first link 18a pivotally coupled to the first arm 6a, a second link 18b pivotally coupled to the second arm 6b; and a main link 20 pivotally coupled to each of the first and second links 18a, 18b and to a shock absorber 22 arranged to provide a biasing force via (i) the main linkage 20 and the first link 18a which opposes rotation of the first arm 6a about the pivot 10a and (ii) the main linkage 20 and the second link 18b which opposes rotation of the second arm 6b about the pivot 10b.
