AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR COMPRISING A SPRING OPPOSING ROTATION BETWEEN UPPER AND LOWER MEMBERS OF THE LANDING GEAR

An aircraft undercarriage includes an upper element for connecting to an aircraft structure and a lower element carrying an axle. The lower element is mounted to be movable in translation relative to the upper element along a longitudinal axis, and a shock absorber is arranged to damp movements in translation of the lower element relative to the upper element.First and second portions of a spring are connected respectively to the upper element and to the lower element so that during movement in translation of the lower element relative to the upper element, the spring opposes any turning of the lower element relative to the upper element about said longitudinal axis.
