Abstract
A feedback system senses a steering position of a nose wheel assembly for an aircraft. The nose wheel assembly has a first element rotatably associated with a second element about an axis, and the rotational position of the first element relative to the second element corresponds to the steering position of the nose wheel assembly. The feedback system includes a first magnetic field sensor fixedly positioned relative to the first element and configured to sense a first element orientation. A second magnetic field sensor is fixedly positioned relative to the second element and configured to sense a second element orientation. The feedback system further includes a controller programmed to determine the steering position of the nose wheel according to the sensed first element orientation and the sensed second element orientation.
