LANDING GEAR


Fixed gear

Most small aircraft have steering capabilities through the use of a simple system of mechanical linkages connected to the rudder pedals. As the pedals are depressed, the movement is transferred to the strut piston axle and wheel assembly which rotates to the left or right.
