A trailing link landing gear (6) has a main arm (20) which extends from a proximal end (22) attachable to an aircraft (2) to a distal end (24), and a trailing arm (30) which extends from a pivotable connection at the distal end (24) of the main arm (20) to one or more wheels (39). A shock absorber (40) extends between the main arm (20) and the trailing arm (30). An adjustment member (50) mounted to one of the arms can be moved to move an end of the shock absorber (40) and thereby change the angle that the trailing arm (30) makes with the main arm (20). This, in turn, changes the height of the landing gear (6) and in doing so changes the angle of attack (10) of an aircraft (2) including the landing gear (6).
