The invention provides a landing gear strut for an aircraft which has the cross-section of an airfoil. The strut is mounted to the fuselage of the aircraft, preferably at a shallow downward angle from the horizontal, and preferably presents a positive angle of attack to the oncoming airflow. Due to the combination of an airfoil profile and a positive angle of attack, the strut is enabled to provide lift to the aircraft.
