Planes Power
How maneuvers of aircraft on the runway?

How do planes make their way to the track? Do you use the engine thrust to push the plane forward, or if the wheels at the energy of motion? In addition, the level of a turn left or right when you approach the track is still governed by the driving motor or the pilot to turn the knob or whatever to turn the wheel?

This is called shooting. The aircraft taxi GA: 1) engine power and 2) the rudder. The rudder pedals are connected to the rudder attached to the vertical stabilizer. If the driver wants to turn left on the track, the left rudder pedal is pushed and it deflects the rudder to the left. Gentle pressure on that side of the brake pedal can also be applied for increasingly clear. And if you go too fast and come to a ditch and had to stop, much, much more difficult to apply the brake pressure with lots of throttle and rudder a twist not to squeak out a small piece of the soil surface. (Personal experience always taxi slowly silly;)) If the aircraft has a front wheel or swiveling tail wheel, it also becomes, together with the rudder. In large commercial aircraft, the rudder pedal has limited authority, as well as around 7 degrees. So for the tight corners, there is a little steering wheel or lever on the side of the master, or both sides, which operates through the front wheel Hydraulic front wheel direction. This allows about 70 degrees of rotation. The wheels have no power, and the yoke is not involved in the management and wheel of a car.
