Abstract
A landing gear system for an aircraft comprising a pair of legs, each having a wheel at a distal end, a pivot point associated with each leg for allowing each leg to follow an arc-shaped path between a deployed position and a retracted position, one of the legs passing in front of the other while moving from the deployed position to the retracted position, and a linking assembly disposed between the legs for ensuring that the legs move from the deployed position to the retracted position in unison.
