Reverse trike with rear steering

Are there any examples of this? i.e. one wheel at the back steering, two at the front, front wheel drive.





The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

Rear steering is not very good at speed, thats why you don´t see it very much.
One example of what happens though not rear steered is the Ground Loop on tailwheel airplanes.
Not good at... any speed, well except for parking speeds.





Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....

Thrust SSC?

I remember speaking to Andy Green a few years ago and he was less than complementary about the rear steer aspect though......
