A landing gear for an aircraft comprising a truck support strut, a landing gear retract mechanism coupling the truck support strut to a frame of the aircraft, so that the truck support strut is suspended from the frame by the landing gear retract mechanism, at least one wheel support arm rotatably coupled to the truck support strut, a carrier member coupled to the landing gear retract mechanism and to the truck support strut so that the landing gear retract mechanism drives the carrier member along the truck support strut, and at least one shock absorber, each of the at least one shock absorber being coupled to both a respective one of the at least one wheel support arm and the carrier member so that movement of the carrier member effects rotation of the at least one wheel support arm relative to the truck support strut.
