Zusammenfassung:A slip-reduction control unit for an aircraft having a steerable landing gear. The control unit receives steering input signals from which a target steering command output may be ascertained and additional input signals (a) the motion of the aircraft, (b) a steering angle, or (c) a parameter relating to the slip sustained by the steerable landing gear. The slip-reduction control unit determines, based on the additional input signals, reduces the rate of change of steering angle that would otherwise be commanded. The reduction in the rate of change may reduce vibration on the aircraft that might be caused by a greater rate of change in the steering angle.
