Landing gear unit equipped with a static electricity dissipator system and aircraft

A landing gear unit comprising at least one contact member, a shock absorber and a static electricity dissipation system, the shock absorber being compressed along a damping axis, the shock absorber being connected to the contact member,

• wherein the static electricity dissipation system comprises:
• a framework integral with a rotation shaft about which the contact member rotates, the framework being provided with a main guide rail and a bottom stop;
• a slider having one degree of freedom of motion in translation along the main guide rail, along a guide axis;
• a metal wand attached to the slider, the wand having an elongate shape and extending from the slider towards the bottom stop, the bottom stop having an orifice configured to guide the wand in translation;
• and
• a drive part connected to the shock absorber, and movable with respect to the rotation shaft, the drive part moving with respect to the framework towards the bottom stop, parallel to the damping axis, when the shock absorber is compressed to generate sliding of the slider along the main guide rail.
