Abstract
Improved landing gear systems include a leverage-reducing landing gear system, a constant angle suspension landing gear system, or a combination of both systems. Preferred leverage-reducing landing gear systems include shock absorbers angled upward from their respective primary landing gear legs toward a central vertical longitudinal plane at an angle less than 30 degrees. Preferred constant angle suspension landing gear systems include a four-bar suspension mechanism.
