Some aspects of the design of aircraft steering systems

Abstract

THE FUNDAMENTAL principles governing the behaviour of aircraft during steering manoeuvres on the ground are now well known and documented, but one particular aspect of the problem has not, to the writer's knowledge, been dealt with in the literature. This article examines this feature and describes methods for evaluating its effect on the overall steering power requirements and system behaviour. The influence of tyre characteristics is also examined.
