Abstract
Aircraft landing gear having a leg () for hinging to a structure of the aircraft so as to be movable between a deployed position and a retracted position, a main brace (), a secondary brace (), and a double-acting type unlocking actuator () having a first end coupled to the secondary brace and controllable for causing its links to move out of alignment against the action of the resilient member during retraction or deployment of the landing gear. The landing gear includes couplers () for coupling to a second end of the unlocking actuator, which couplers ensure movement of said second end relative to the leg so that, for a given action, the unlocking actuator tends to break the alignment of the links when the landing gear is in one of its positions and tends to confirm said alignment when the landing gear is in its other position.
