Abstract
An aircraft landing gear 100 includes a structural main leg 110, having a substantially circular cross-section and defining a front side for facing upstream in use and a rear side for facing downstream in use. The landing gear includes a shaped element 151 attached to an attachment point located on the rear side of the structural main leg. The shaped element extends rearwards from the structural main leg to provide a combined cross-sectional shape of the structural main leg and shaped element that is elongated in the upstream-downstream direction compared to the structural main leg.
