Abstract

An electrohydraulic system for controlling a landing gear of an aircraft, said landing gear comprising a plurality of retractable landing gear units each provided with at least one wheel. Said system comprises two braking devices for braking said wheel of two landing gear units, one movement device per landing gear unit for moving a landing gear unit relative to a housing of said aircraft, and two hydraulic units, hydraulically connected to said movement devices and to at least one of said braking devices. Each hydraulic unit comprises a reservoir containing a fluid, a pump driven by an electric pump motor and a distributor configured to distribute said fluid to said at least one braking device and to said movement devices, by means of braking, extension, retraction and discharge valves.
