A landing gear system for an aircraft includes a drag brace, a lateral brace, and a support assembly, the support assembly coupled to: a lateral side of the fuselage via the lateral brace, an upper portion of the fuselage via a hinge, and a forward portion of the fuselage via the drag brace. The support assembly can rotate about the hinge connection about a forward-aft axis, with the lateral brace resisting rotation of the support assembly about the forward-aft axis, and the drag brace resisting rotation of the support assembly about a vertical axis. The system includes inboard and outboard landing gear separately coupled to the support assembly to support weight of the aircraft. The hinge transfers vertical forces to the fuselage, moments about the hinge are reacted by forces on the lateral brace, and drag forces are transferred to the fuselage by the drag brace.
