A landing gear is disclosed having a main strut being connected to a first attachment point located on the aircraft. The landing gear includes an inboard sidestay and outboard sidestays. The inboard sidestay has a first end connected to the main strut for movement along the main strut and is connected at a second end to a second attachment point located on the aircraft. The outboard sidestay has a first end connected to the main strut for movement along the main strut and is connected at a second end to a third attachment point located on the aircraft. When the landing gear is in a deployed configuration, the connection between the first end of each of the inboard and outboard sidestays and the main strut allows for movement of each first end along at least a portion of the length of the main strut.
