ABSTRACT:
In a small airplane, a combination nose wheel, shroud and rudder is provided. The shroud encloses all but a lower cord of the wheel. The shroud has an aerodynamic profile and is pivotable for inflight guidance by a pair of actuator pedals pivoted to the interior structure of the cabin. The shroud is directionally operatable by the pedals operating through a bellcrank and connecting rod. The shroud is returnable to a normal straight flight condition by airstream forces alone. An additional interconnection is provided from the shroud for simultaneously controlling a conventional rear rudder.
