A landing gear 6 comprising a main strut 8 connected at one end to an aircraft 1 via a main joint is disclosed. The landing gear 6 further comprises an inboard sidestay assembly connected to the main strut 8. The inboard sidestay assembly comprises a forward stay 30a connected at one end to the aircraft 1, a rear stay 30b connected at one end to the fuselage, and a shear web 32 extending between the forward stay 30a and the rear stay 30b and configured to resist movement of the forward stay 30a relative to the rear stay 30b. The landing gear 6 is arranged such that when the landing gear 6 is extended substantially all the landing gear loads are transferred from the landing gear 6 to the aircraft 1 via one or more of the main joint, the forward stay 30a and the rear stay 30b.
