An aircraft has landing gear 10 with one or more wheels supported by a main support (fig.3,20) which can be moved between stowed and deployed configurations relative to the aircraft body. At least a first and second sidestay 30,32 extend between mounting points 34,36 on the aircraft body and the main support; one of each side-stay’s mounting points is on a yoke 40, forming a joint permitting relative movement between that stay and the yoke, the yoke rotates about a yoke axis 42. In a first alternative, the yoke is constrained for rotation about the yoke axis and the joint allows rotation of the yoke about the yoke axis. In use when the landing gear is deployed the main support and the stays may be arranged to collectively transfer all landing gear loads to the aircraft body; or the yoke redistributing forces between stays. In another alternative, each joint has a pivot joint axis 54, non-perpendicular to the yoke axis. The yoke may be mounted on the main support, or the body of the aircraft, for relative rotation about the yoke axis.
