Abstract: The invention relates to aircraft landing gear of the type that is laterally-raisable and that has twin wheels in a side-by-side configuration. According to the invention, the leg is constituted by an upside-down L-shaped strut whose two branches are hinged together, comprising a beam-forming first branch that is hinged to the structure of the aircraft and a second branch having a wheel lever hinged to the end thereof. The wheel lever is also connected to the first branch via a shock absorber. A controlling guide bar connects the second branch to the structure of the aircraft via a fork swivel-mounted on said second branch, in such a manner as to cause said second branch to move forwards while the landing ger is being raised, such forwards movement causing the wheels to be folded in because the shock absorber then acts as a second guide bar.
