An aircraft undercarriage comprises a retractable nose wheel unit N, which supports approximately 10 per cent of total aircraft weight and a main unit comprising a retractable leg C positioned in the mid-part of the fuselage on its fore-and-aft centre line and two lateral legs O1,O2 each arranged for retraction into an engine nacelle at the tip of each wing. The legs of the main unit may be in transverse alignment or leg C may be forward of the transverse plane containing legs 01 and 02. Leg C is arranged to carry approximately 40 to 70 per cent of total aircraft weight whilst the remaining 20 to 50 per cent is divided between undercarriages 01 and 02.
