An aircraft 200 comprising a first retractable landing gear assembly configured to support some of the weight of the aircraft via one or more wheels 208, and second retractable non-wheeled landing gear assembly or device 210. The second assembly is configured to support some of the weight of the aircraft via one or more “low-friction” supports such as an air cushion able comparable to that of a hovercraft. The aircraft may have a maximum take-off weight between 100 and 150 tonnes. There may be two main landing gears each carrying two wheels, a nose landing gear, and a central non-wheeled landing gear providing the low friction vertical support when the aircraft is moving on the ground/operating surface. There is also claimed a method of moving an aircraft with landing gear comprising a mixture of wheeled and non-wheeled landing gear elements.
