An aircraft (2) has a landing gear (10) with a main support (20) supporting one or more wheels (76). The landing gear has at least two sidestays (30, 32) by which landing gear loads can be propagated from the landing gear (10) to the body (3) of the aircraft (2). The sidestays (30, 32) are attached at one end to a rotatable yoke (40) via joints which allow relative movement between the sidestays (30, 32) and the yoke (40) so that the yoke (40) can rotate about a yoke axis (42). Rotation of the yoke (40) about the yoke axis (42), permitted by said joints, can help distribute loads between the two sidestays (30, 32) and/or combat negative effects resulting from an anfavourable tolerance stack during assembly, for example.
