Abstract
AbstractCalculating the steering moment of friction at the nose landing gear wheel of the military training aircraft, using calculus programs such as Mathcad, allows practical experience to be retained, and encourages its dissemination for similar calculations in the future. Two methods are presented: an empirical, but very fast method, and an analytical as highly accurate method. The aim of this calculation is to dimension the active moment developed by the steering actuators so that it is at least 1.5 times the calculated resisting moment opposing the steering action. The total steering moment of friction at the nose landing gear wheel is generated by the frictional forces between the wheel and the running way.
