The emergency landing gear actuator for aircraft utilizes a pair of airbags for rapid emergency deployment of landing gear when the conventional hydraulic actuator fails. In the retracted position, the at least one wheel of the landing gear is stored in a first cavity formed in the lower portion of the wing. The shock strut and the side strut are stored in an adjacent second cavity formed in the lower portion of the wing. First and second airbags are respectively mounted in the first and second cavities. The first airbag and the second airbag are each selectively inflatable for emergency deployment of the at least one wheel, the shock strut and the side strut. When the hydraulic actuator fails to deploy the landing gear, the first and second airbags are inflated, forcing the shock strut to rotate and position the at least one wheel in its deployed position.
