Abstract: An aircraft landing gear includes a leg having a strut receiving a telescopic rod to slide on a sliding axis, the strut being hinged to an aircraft structure and being capable of pivoting about a pivot axis that is highly offset from the sliding axis. The landing gear further includes a connection structure essentially formed by two panels connecting two axially separate points of the strut to a common axis structure extending along the strut pivot axis. In the gear-down position, the panels are one above the other, the top panel being connected to the strut via a high attachment which is rigid in twisting, while the bottom panel is connected to the strut via a low attachment which tolerates twisting, thereby enabling the strut to warp to some extent when the aircraft is turning while taxiing.

Abstract: The invention relates to aircraft landing gear of the type comprising a leg (11) constituted by a strut (12) receiving a telescopic rod (13) to slide on a sliding axis (Z), said strut being hinged to an aircraft structure and being capable of pivoting about a pivot axis (X) that is highly offset from the sliding axis (Z). In accordance with the invention, the landing gear (10) includes a connection structure (100) essentially constituted by two panels (101, 102) connecting two axially separate points of the strut (12) to a common axis structure (103) extending along the strut pivot axis (X). In the gear-down position, the panels (101, 102) are one above the other, the top panel (101) being connected to the strut (12) via a high attachment (105) which is rigid in twisting, while the bottom panel (102) is connected to the strut (12) via a low attachment (106) which tolerates twisting, thereby enabling the strut (12) to warp to some extent when the aircraft is turning while taxiing.
