My advice is to give it up. I think most do have nosewheel steering, unless they're tail-draggers. Of course, these guys may not know what they're talking about. http://www.airliners.net/aviation-fo...d.main/244971/ Small GA aircraft and military fighters use rudder pedals for the entirety of their steering, the vast majority having nosewheel steering as well as differential brakes available for taxi. Larger transport category aircraft will use their nosewheel steering through the tiller, it could be a nice wheel or lever on the Captain's side, even down to a rudimentary little bar like on the Shorts 360. -- Guns don't cause problems. Gun owner behavior causes problems. |

True nose wheel steering requires the ability to change the angle of the nose wheel by the pilot. Luddite did a pretty good job of explaining all that. |
