PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aircraft landing gear steering system. SOLUTION: The invention generally relates to aircraft landing gear steering systems 110, 210, 310 comprising turning members 118, 218, 318 that are coupled to landing gear legs 116, 216, 316 so as to be operable by harmonic drive mechanisms 260, 360. The landing gear steering systems 110, 210, 310 may be electrically driven. Additionally, the landing gear systems 110, 210, 310 have various advantages including the provision of a safe failure mode if the harmonic drive mechanisms 260, 360 fail.
