A modular aircraft landing gear assembly 3010 comprises a modular landing gear bracket 3014, connectable to an aircraft via a hinged portion 3018, a lever 3016 for carrying a wheel 3022 and a linkage assembly, such as a spring assembly 3130, for transmitting ground loads via a spring 3131, 3132 and/or a shock absorber. The bracket 3014 comprises a structure, such as a mounting point 3028r, which is redundant when used on an aircraft of a first type but which is necessary on a different type of (e.g. larger) aircraft. The modular landing gear assembly may thus provide a design platform from which landing gear assemblies can be readily designed and manufactured for use on different types of aircraft with faster and/or easier redesign and/or recertification of the aircraft landing gear assembly for such subsequently designed types of aircraft.
