A trailing link landing gear has a main arm 20 which extends from a proximal end attachable to an aircraft to a distal end, and a trailing arm 30 which extends from a pivotable connection at the distal end of the main arm to one or more wheels 39. A shock absorber 40 extends between the main arm and the trailing arm. An adjustment member 50 mounted to one of the arms can be moved so as to move an end of the shock absorber and thereby change the angle that the trailing arm makes with the main arm. This, in turn, can change the height of the landing gear and in doing so can change the angle of attack of an aircraft comprising the landing gear. Also provided is a trailing link landing gear omitting the shock absorber and wherein the adjustment member is rotatable through at least 45 degrees between a first position and a second position.
