A shock strut is provided that includes a first energy absorption stage or load limiter and a second energy absorption stage or load limiter. The second energy absorption stage or load limiter can include one or more disc springs. The shock strut can be employed on both fixed and retractable landing gear alike, while providing design adjustability for obtaining load-deflection curves that accommodate a range of descent or impact velocities.
