An aircraft landing gear assembly having a main strut pivotally coupled to an aircraft, a bogie beam pivotally connected to the main strut, a first axle mounted at the first end of the bogie beam and arranged to carry one or more first wheel assemblies and brake assemblies, each first brake assembly being attached to the bogie beam by a brake rod, and a second axle mounted at a second end of the bogie beam and arranged to carry one or more second wheel assemblies and brake assemblies. A double acting actuator is coupled between the strut and the bogie beam to apply a compressive or tensile force to the bogie beam. The ends of the bogie beam are arranged to position the bogie pivot axis below a plane intersecting the axes of rotation of the first and second wheel assemblies when the strut is in the deployed condition.
