A landing gear for an aircraft comprising a main strut 8, and inboard and outboard sidestays 24 and 22. The main strut is connected to the aircraft at first end 10a, and the sidestays are connected at attachment points 10c, 10b. The sidestays are connected to the main strut at their first ends, such that they may move up and down along a portion of the main strut. The landing gear may retract into a wing structure 12, by rotating the main strut about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The connection between the sidestays and the main strut may comprise a collar 16. The sidestays may include one or more dampers.
