Abstract:
1. A landing gear comprising a first longitudinal bearing skid and a second longitudinal bearing skid together with a first transverse crossbar and a second transverse crossbar each connected to the first and second skids in order to connect each longitudinal bearing skid to an airframe of an aircraft, wherein the landing gear includes at least one resilient fastener device together with at least one blocking means and at least one centering means per crossbar, the fastener device for the associated crossbar including connection means for connecting the associated crossbar to the airframe and slide means for allowing the associated crossbar to slide relative to the connection means while landing on sloping terrain, the blocking means being independent and acting to block the sliding of the associated crossbar relative to the connection means after landing on sloping terrain, the centering means acting in flight to position the associated crossbar in a predetermined position relative to the connection means, wherein the blocking means comprise a stationary portion suitable for being fastened to the airframe and a movable portion secured to the associated crossbar, the stationary portion and the movable portion co-operating by interfering shapes after a landing.
