B767
For those 767 captains and f/o's out there I have an (ignorant) question. Does only the nose gear allow the aicraft to turn or does the main gear also flex/turn to allow turns (i.e. runway alignment.)? As I said, this is probably ignorant to ask but I've been in suspense since i first flew on one.

The 747 uses primarily a tiller but can be controlled to a limited amount but the rudder pedals.
The 747 has a tiller for both the Captain and FO. They are mounted on the sidewalls. The Captain steers with his left hand and the FO steers with his right.
