Aircraft steering system controller

摘要

An aircraft 1 has undercarriage comprising a nose landing gear 10 and main landing gear 11,12 and further includes an aircraft steering control system 100. The control system includes a controller which is configured to receive a steering input representative of a desired direction of travel of a steerable nose landing gear, and to receive one or more force-based inputs representative of lateral forces acting upon the nose landing gear. The controller is adapted to automatically adjust the steering input based upon the force-based input(s) so as to output an adjusted steering command for a steering actuator of the nose landing gear.
