Abstract
An undercarriage (2) for an aircraft (1) includes anti-crash elements that are specific to a second stage of a crash after the end of a first stage. The undercarriage includes: a device for blocking a retraction actuator (6); a device for retaining the actuator (6) functionally separated from a landing gear leg (9); and a device for applying controlled braking to the pivoting of the leg (9) by irreversible lengthening of a deformable member (25).
