A semi-levered landing gear including a shock strut configured for coupling to an airframe of an aircraft, a truck lever being rotatably coupled to the shock strut, a tension link assembly having a tension link assembly first end, a tension link assembly second end and at least one tension link assembly rotation axis. The tension link assembly first end is coupled to the shock strut, and the tension link assembly second end is coupled to the truck lever. A positioning mechanism is configured for coupling to one or more of the airframe and the shock strut and is coupled to the tension link assembly, wherein the tension link assembly is configured to rotate the truck lever about a truck pivot axis of rotation between a truck lever extended position and a truck lever stowed position. 本申请公开了种半摇臂式起落架，其包括：减震支柱，其被配置用于耦连到飞行器的机体；转向架杆，其可旋转地耦连到减震支柱；张力连杆组件，其具有张力连杆组件第端、张力连杆组件第二端和至少个张力连杆组件旋转轴线。张力连杆组件第端耦连到减震支柱，并且张力连杆组件第二端耦连到转向架杆。定位机构被配置用于耦连到机体和减震支柱中的个或多个并且耦连到张力连杆组件，其中张力连杆组件被配置成使转向架杆围绕转向架枢轴旋转轴线在转向架杆延伸位置与转向架杆收起位置之间旋转。
