Zusammenfassung:The landing gear (16) which is placed in front of a fuel tank (18) comprises a linkage system (32) able to be supported against a runner (52) formed on a reinforced structure element (48), in the event of accidental tipping of the gear backwards. The deformation which results to the linkage system then causes, successively, the complete release of the gear shock absorber (24), the rupture of its stop (25) at the end of its released travel, then the rupture of a part of the linkage system. The bottom part of the gear is then ejected and guided by a rear part (52b) of the runner, without risk of perforating the fuel tank.
