Using the tiller or helm through to the rudder.


How do you steer a Boeing 737 on the ground?

You use the rudder controls, that you control using your feet.


When does a personal watercraft lose ability to steer?

When the cable breaks. It also won't steer at idle. The ski doesn't steer using a conventional rudder. It uses the propulsion from the water flowing from the impeller to accelerate and the directional nozzle provides steering control under acceleration.

When on a sailboat under power of a small motor do you lash the tiller and steer by motor or keep the motor straight and steer by tiller?

This is a WAG from a power boater, not a sailboater, but...I think there are two things to consider. (assuming you don't have remote controls for your kicker) First, how accessible is the outboard? If the outboard is so far aft of the cockpit that you can't reach the tiller (or wheel) then you will need to be with the engine for forward/reverse control and speed control. On the other hand, if your outboard is close enough to the rudder control to use it, the rudder has much greater surface area and you would have more steering control using the rudder. Just an educated guess. Good luck. From a sailor- On my boat I steer by rudder and leave the motor amidships for normal motoring But the outboard, with its directional thrust, is very handy when in tight quarters especially at low speeds when the rudder is less effective. I have an extension for the motor control handle to make it easily accessible from the cockpit.

What is the main function of a rudder in airplane?

The rudder steers the aircraft in a flat turn. You can turn by using ailerons only, but with rudder to help, it's much more efficient.


When did ships start using wheels to steer?

After doing intense research, the only conclusion that I can draw is that ships started using wheels to assist in steering the ships instead of the tiller because as the size of ships grew, it became easier to move the rudder with the assistance of a wheel vice a tiller.


Can a plane use a proper turn using only the rudder?

no, you must use the elevator and rudder to make a proper turn.


What are the elements for steering the ship?

A ship is normally steered using its rudder. Dependent on vessel type this may be a single rudder or twin. The rudder is normally positioned behind the propeller. A rudder is shaped as a foil, and when the rudder is turned with water flowing over it, the rudder acts much like the wing of an aircraft and provides lift (in this case axially). the lift is a force which acts through the rudder stock and "pintle" bearings which transfer that force to the aft end of the ship, moving it. As the vessel is moving forward and the hull is shaped to pass through the water in a hydrodynamic fashion, the ship will turn. The force to turn the rudder is supplied via the steering gear. This is normally in the form of a hydraulic ram (or rams) coupled to a tiller keyed in on the top of the rudder. The hydraulic rams get a signal from the ships wheelhouse (or bridge) normally via electric solenoids. The hydraulic fluid under pressure is then admitted to the relevant cylinder, driving the rudder over. A feedback is provided to the input. The input is normally a small wheel, joystick or autopilot. The days of a large wooden ships wheel are no more! Cruise ships may have an "azipod". They would not be fitted with a rudder, but the propeller is fitted to a rotating "pod" fitted under the hull. As the pod rotates the thrust from the propeller moves the hull around.


How rudder drop is measured?

Rudder drop is typically measured by the amount of deflection or displacement of the rudder from its neutral position. This is usually expressed in degrees of rotation or in millimeters of movement. Measurement can be done manually by visual inspection or may be gathered using sensors or instruments connected to the rudder mechanism.
