Abstract
An aircraft undercarriage having a strut () hingedly mounted to the aircraft, and a bottom part () carrying the wheels and movable relative to the strut. The bottom part has a rod that slides in the strut and a scissors linkage between the strut and the rod. The undercarriage has a shortener for shortening the undercarriage between a deployed position and a raised position by causing the rod to enter into the strut (). The shortener has coupled first and second members (), the first member () coupled to the bottom part () or to an element () that moves with the bottom part during its movement relative to the strut. The second member () is hinged to the aircraft so that while the undercarriage is raised, the second member abuts before the undercarriage reaches the raised position. The first member () is coupled to the scissors linkage.
