Abstract:
A rotorcraft having an airframe, the airframe carrying at least one rotor that contributes to providing the rotorcraft with lift and/or propulsion, the rotorcraft having at least one undercarriage. The at least one undercarriage comprises at least one inclined wheel undercarriage, the inclined wheel undercarriage having an undercarriage leg carrying at least one axle, the at least one axle carrying at least one wheel, the at least one wheel not being in contact with any other wheel, the at least one wheel presenting positive or negative camber when the at least one wheel touches the ground and independently of forces exerted by said airframe on the inclined wheel undercarriage.
