Nose Wheel Steering for Retracts

Then the wheel could rotate and retract, and the hose pipes from brake flexibles, would just flex. (Difficult to make this light enough, I imagine.) Brian W I kinda suspect it would take a LOT more fluid flow than a brake master could deliver - and a lot of pressure too. There's one FAA design requirement that I can remember: rudder pedals shall withstand 150 lbs force each, without fail or stretch. Brian W |
