Abstract: A bogie-type landing gear for aircraft is provided. The landing gear includes at least one front wheel and at least one rear wheel connected to a beam, a rocking arm centrally and rotatably connected to said beam, and a shock absorbing element. The rocking arm ends and the shock absorbing element, which are distal to the wheels, are articulated on a lever element hinged on the aircraft frame, onto which an actuator assembly for rotating said lever element urges between a position in which the wheels are in an operative configuration and a position in which the wheels are retracted in the landing gear bay.
