Study Notes
Nose Wheel Steering
- Modern jet aircraft use nose wheel steering systems for ground operation and directional control during takeoff and landing.
- Steering is controlled from the cockpit using steering tillers and rudder pedals.
- Rudder pedals steer the aircraft during takeoff and landing, while steering tillers control the aircraft at low speeds or tight turns.
- Jet aircraft use hydraulically powered indirect steering systems, also known as follow-up systems.
- Two types of indirect nose wheel steering systems are discussed: System 1 and System 2.
System 1
- Mechanically operated and hydraulically actuated.
System 2
- Electrically operated and hydraulically actuated.
- Steering signals from the cockpit are transmitted via electric wires to electronic circuits.
- These circuits send signals to a steering servo valve, which directs hydraulic pressure to steering cylinders.
