An aircraft landing gear is movable between a retracted position and an extended
position. The aircraft landing gear comprises a nonfolding, nonhinged shock strut
that extends along a shock strut axis from a proximal end to a distal end and remains
at an essentially constant length throughout an extension/retraction cycle. A trunnion
is coupled to the proximal end of the shock strut and capable of pivoting in combination
with the shock strut about a canted trunnion axis. A multiple-wheel truck is coupled
to the distal end of the shock strut. A drag strut is coupled to the shock strut
at a position intermediate to the shock strut proximal and distal end and is capable
of folding as the landing gear is retracted and straightening as the landing gear
is extended. The canted trunnion axis is canted so that the shock strut retracts
in a forward and inboard direction and extends downward and outboard.
