The rigid body rotation of the frame is transmitted to the shock absorber via the double parallelogram mechanism and does not affect the strut buffer. In other words, the shock absorber not only performs the function of shock absorption but also performs the function of retracting and extending the landing gear, achieving both functions using a single mechanism.
