Abstract

Aspects of the subject technology relate to a landing gear of a rotorcraft including two skid tubes and a cross tube. The cross tube couples the skid tubes to each other and attaches the skid tubes to a fuselage of the rotorcraft. At least a part of the cross tube is made of a composite material to achieve sufficient absorption of energy while preventing the fuselage from coming into contact with a ground surface, at the time of landing the rotorcraft, under a more satisfactory condition. The rotorcraft includes the landing gear to achieve sufficient absorption of energy while preventing the fuselage from coming into contact with the ground surface, at the time of landing the rotorcraft, under a more satisfactory condition.
