A retractable landing gear system for a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft includes a rotational strut rotatably coupled to a fuselage of the VTOL aircraft. The rotational strut includes a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion extending therebetween. A drag strut includes a first end portion pivotally connected to the rotational strut and a second end portion. A locking link includes a first end section pivotally connected relative to the fuselage, a second end section pivotally connected to the drag strut and an intermediate section having a hinge element. A retraction system is operatively connected to the rotational strut and the locking link. The retraction system is operable to pivot the drag strut about a first axis and rotate the rotational strut about a second axis that is distinct from the first axis.
