Is the front wheel on the nose gear fixed or does it steer with the rudder?

The front wheel on the nose gear of most commercial aircraft is typically fixed and does not steer with the rudder. Instead, steering is achieved through the use of the nose wheel, which can pivot left or right, usually controlled by the pilot using the rudder pedals. Some smaller aircraft or certain models may have nose gear that can be steered with the rudder pedals or have additional steering mechanisms, but this is not the norm for larger commercial planes.
