in the expression "train d'atterissage avant", what is the preferred expression in patentese?
"front landing gear"
"forward landing gear"
or even "fore landing gear"?
"front" gets the most hits by far but there's no substitute for asking the experts IMHO

forward landing gear
When referring to aircraft, the usual terms are forward and rear rather than front and back.
One example of many:
"The forward landing gears are a fixed cantilever type and have twin wheels. The aft landing gears ..."

I vote for this one.

Nose gear
Another option for you to consider. It's what I always say and it gets a lot of hits. But whether it's the best for a patent...I could not say.
