Hi Matari,

the Navy Lynx wheels are turned that way by a mechanical device by man.
The nose wheel can be castored to 90 degrees, allowing the Lynx to turn on the deck around the harpune securing it to the deck.
So starting/landing into wind is possible without turning the ship.






look about 1min10
Running landing is still possible - evenso some rubber stays on the tarmac.

Greetings Flying Bull

P.S.
If you fly with wheeled helicopters, you might have to put the wheels on hard ground to prevent sinking in
