== Camber in uneven terrain == [[File:Autojerab tatra 815.jpg|thumb|[[Tatra (company)#Trucks|Tatra Trucks]] have quite acute positive camber due to their chassis design, which incorporates a central-tube and swing axles, as seen on this [[Tatra 815]] [[crane truck]].]] Off-road vehicles such as agricultural tractors generally use positive camber. In such vehicles, the positive camber angle helps achieve a lower steering effort. Also, some single-engined general-aviation aircraft that are primarily meant to operate from unimproved surfaces, such as [[bush plane]]s and [[aerial application|cropduster]]s, have their [[conventional landing gear|taildragger]] gear's main wheels equipped with positive-cambered main wheels to better handle the deflection of the landing gear, as the aircraft settles on rough, unpaved airstrips.
