    Steering Wheel Angle & Radius of Curvature

    Altered from what? I plan to use 10" diameter wheels, so with a 5" seat cushion, riders' bodies will be approximately 10" off the ground. And my design will allow for widening the wheel base (within limits) to accommodate strong winds in our mountain valley. But I'll be using (I think) a...

    Steering Wheel Angle & Radius of Curvature

    I’m trying to design a land sailer, and I wanted to make sure I had the right formula. Using the PDF diagram attached, I was able to derive Arolin’s formula from geometry. But I think it’s only an approximation, which works best when the steering angle (angle of the wheels, not the steering...
