LANDING GEAR

A landing gear (10) includes: a wheel support member (16) including a first portion for rollably supporting a wheel (14), and a second portion extending from the first portion toward a fuselage (12) in a direction of an axis of the first portion and supporting the first portion such that the first portion is rotatable about the axis; a swing support member for supporting the second portion of the wheel support member (16) such that the second portion is swingable relative to the fuselage (12); a retraction actuator (42) for swinging the wheel support member (16) to retract the wheel (14) into the fuselage (12) and deploy the wheel (14) from the fuselage (12); a brace (22) attached to the fuselage (12) and supporting the wheel support member (16); and a joint (20) connecting the brace (22) to the first portion of the wheel support member (16). The joint (20) is disposed closer to the wheel (14) than to the swing support member.
