An aircraft includes a fuselage, a pair of wings and landing gear which is movable between two operative positions. In a first position of the landing gear, the center of gravity of the aircraft is in a rearward, elevated position and in a second position of the landing gear, the center of gravity of the aircraft is in a forward, lowered position. The landing gear includes a front section and a rear section. The rear section is pivotably mounted to the fuselage for movement between a lowered, forward position when the landing gear is in the first position and a raised. rearward position when the landing gear is in the second position. The front section of the landing gear is axially extendible between a lowered position when the landing gear is in the first position and a raised position when the landing gear is in the second position.
