Re: Question to landing gear experts

Hello Bill,

Thanks a lot for your interesting post.

Is it right then that a nose wheel with scissor link cannot be rotated and keeps the straight direction unless one of the scissor link attachements is a shimmy brake that allows rotation but dampens it?

Or in other words: every nose wheel that was able to rotate +/- a certain angle for taxiing AND had a scissor link must have had a shimmy brake in one of the scissor links attachement? As otherwise it couldn't rotate and would keep direction.

Regards
Roger
