An aircraft includes: a wing landing gear; and a body landing gear which includes a shock absorber strut assembly comprising a wheel, a fixed truss structure and an aircraft structure connection point, a drag brace, and a pivot joint that connects the fixed truss structure to the drag brace; and a body landing gear wheel well configured to store the body landing gear in a stowed position. The drag brace includes an upper drag brace, and a lower drag brace pivotingly attached to the upper drag brace. In a stowed position, the shock absorber strut assembly, the fixed strut structure, the upper drag brace and the lower drag brace may be positioned outside of a swing path of a wing landing gear of the aircraft. In the deployed position, the lower drag brace may be positioned in the swing path of the wing landing gear of the aircraft.
