Abstract
The landing gear of the invention comprises a strut in which a sliding rod slides, the strut and the sliding rod are connected to each other by a scissors linkage having a top branch and a bottom branch which are connected to each other by articulated means capable of moving between a folded position in which the branches of the scissors linkage are adjacent to each other, and an unfolded position in which the branches of the scissors linkage are moved apart from each other, thereby causing the sliding rod to pivot about its own axis.
