A telescoping strut for a retractable landing gear in an aircraft. The telescoping strut comprises a pre-pressurized and central extension chamber extending along the telescoping strut and a surrounding retraction chamber. For retraction, an hydraulic generation architecture of the aircraft feeds a single input/output passage of the surrounding retraction chamber with a overcoming fluid pressure that overwhelms a extension positive pressure in the central extension chamber and opposes the effect of the pre-pressurizing. The retraction system is for instance for a rotorcraft.
