Landing gear of a rotorcraft has pads and a rotorcraft comprising such an undercarriage

摘要

The helicopter (21) has a fuselage (22) and landing gear (20) with skids (24, 25) connected to the fuselage by cross-members (26, 27) with couplings (28, 29, 30, 31, 32) that have different degrees of flexibility to compensate for uneven landing surfaces. In addition, each of the cross-members has a lower level of inertia in the centre than at its outer ends, allowing a controlled deformation.
