Abstract
We study the problem of moving Chaplygin sleigh along an arbitrary surface. Motion equations for the sleigh are represented as Appel equations. We consider the case when the sleigh moves along a surface of rotation, in particular, along a plane, sphere, and cylinder. We show several cases when the sleigh’s motion equations can be fully integrated.
