Abstract: The present invention relates to landing gears. The landing gear includes essentially two legs (1, 2) comprising respecitvely two arms (10, 28) and two rocker beams (3, 24), a bar (21) forming with the two arms (10, 28) a deformable parallelogram, a strut (37) consisting of two levers (23, 38) placed on a diagonal of the parallelogram, two locking links (50, 51) cooperating with the strut (37), these two rotatably mounted links being rotated by an actuator (70) and a spring (60). The landing gear finds its application in commuter aircraft fitted with tandem type landing gears.

Abstract: The invention concerns a landing gear. The landing gear is characterized essentially by the fact that it comprises at least one shock absorber (15), this shock absorber being mounted in the leg (1) and casing (2) assembly by means of two convex surfaces (22, 31) made on the cylinder (16) of the shock absorber (15) and cooperating with two concave surfaces (25, 32) integral respectively with the leg (1) and the casing (2). This landing gear finds an application as a nose gear of the rocker-beam type.

Abstract: An unsaturated C.sub.5 fraction comprising at least 10% of a mixture (A) of 2-methyl-1-butene with 2-methyl-2-butene and optionally isoprene and at least 10% of a mixture (B) of other mono-olefins and diolefins is hydrogenated under controlled conditions and thereafter etherified with an alcohol having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. A gasoline fraction of high motor octane number and low olefin content is thus obtained.

Abstract: Unsaturated gasolines of both high mercaptan or hydrogen sulfide content and high gum-generator content are hydrogenated first over a palladium catalyst and then over a nickel catalyst. Resultant unsaturated gasolines are sweet and have low gum-generator content.
