Abstract
The landing gear for an aerodyne, and especially for a helicopter (H), is of the type including lateral members (4) for contact with the ground, such as skids, skis, floats or similar members. The members (4) are linked to the fuselage of the aerodyne (H) by at least two crosspieces (2, 3) of composite material. The crosspieces are produced in a laminated material having high elastic absorption capacity. They have a sharply curved shape in the area of their central parts by which they are linked to the fuselage of the aerodyne (H), the link (5) between each of the crosspieces (2, 3) and the fuselage being a link with longitudinal embedding with respect to the aerodyne. The lateral members (4) for contact with the ground are linked to the crosspieces (2, 3) by means of articulation (17, 18) which allow large deformations of the crosspieces (2, 3) without torsion of the lateral members (4).
