Systems and methods for pivoting main landing gear of a cargo aircraft. One embodiment is a main landing gear of an aircraft that includes a shock strut coupled to a truck with one or more wheels, and a trunnion coupled to a bulkhead and configured to pivotally couple the shock strut with the bulkhead. The main landing gear also includes a folding brace extending from the shock strut in a forward direction toward a nose of the aircraft and configured to stabilize the shock strut. The main landing gear further includes a retraction actuator configured to pivot the shock strut about the trunnion to retract the one or more wheels in the forward direction toward the nose and up toward a fuselage of the aircraft.
