A landing gear includes: a wheel support member including a first portion for rollably supporting a wheel, and a second portion extending from the first portion toward a fuselage 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 such that the second portion is swingable relative to the fuselage; a retraction actuator for swinging the wheel support member to retract the wheel into the fuselage and deploy the wheel from the fuselage; a brace attached to the fuselage and supporting the wheel support member; and a joint connecting the brace to the first portion of the wheel support member. The joint is disposed closer to the wheel than to the swing support member.
