The drive system further includes a lock-stay including a first lock link and a second lock link pivotally connected to the first lock link, the lock-stay being switchable between a first position, a second position, and an intermediate position between the first and second positions in which the first and second lock links are substantially aligned. The lock-stay is in the first position when the drive system is in the first configuration and the lock-stay is in the second position when the drive system is in the second configuration. Also, an aircraft landing gear including a wheel and the drive system according in which the driven gear is mounted to the wheel.
