Aircraft landing gear with highly offset strut pivot axis

An aircraft landing gear comprising a leg (11) constituted by a strut (12) in which a telescopic shock-absorber rod (13) slides along a sliding axis (Z), the free end of the rod being hinged to a rocker beam (14) carrying a wheel set having multiple axles, said strut being hinged to a structure of the aircraft and being capable of being pivoted by an associated connection structure about a substantially horizontal axis (X) that is highly offset from the sliding axis (Z) of the telescopic rod (13) which is vertical in the gear-down position, wherein the connection structure (100) is essentially constituted by two panels (101, 102) connecting two axially separated points of the strut (12) to a common axis structure (103) extending along the pivot axis (X) of said strut, in such a manner that in the gear-down position said panels are disposed one above the other, with a top panel (101) which is connected to the strut (12) via a high attachment (105) which is rigid in twisting, and with a bottom panel (102) which is connected to the strut (12) via a low attachment (106) which tolerates twisting, thereby allowing the strut (12) to warp to some extent when the aircraft is turning while taxiing.
