Abstract of the Disclosure The invention relates to aircraft takeoff and landing arrangements and is designed for use on aircraft intended for performing takeoff and landing on unprepaired soft ground. The ground-effect landing gear comprises a platform mounting a flexible enclosure constructed in the form of a system of inflatable envelopes bounding an overpressure space near the ground surface. During transition to hovering and during movement of the aircraft said space is kept in communication with a compressed air source. The flexible enclosure is formed by an outer wall which is continuous in the plan view and whose upper edge is at- tached around its perimeter to the platform, whereas the lower edge is attached around its perimeter to a flat bottom. In the space formed by the platform, outer wall and bottom is mounted at least one circular partition which is located equidistantly from the outer wall and is arranged to divide said space into at least two concentric spaces communicat- ing with each other.
