Abstract
An aircraft has a landing gear with a main leg, a support leg, and a wheel arm which has a wheel support and is pivotably connected to the main leg and support leg. The main leg and support leg are pivotably connected to the airframe of the aircraft, and can be pivoted aft to move the wheel arm aft and upward and move the landing gear from a deployed configuration to a stowed configuration. With the landing gear in the deployed configuration, the support leg is positioned forward of the main leg. The main leg, support leg and wheel arm form a triple-rocker four bar linkage such that pivoting the main leg and support leg aft pivots the wheel arm and retracts the wheel support.
