Re:Tiny electric motor can produce more than 1,000 horsepower by wongarsu on Monday November 03, 2025 @08:10AM (#45798604)
You could also spin up the landing gear wheels prior to landing to massively reduce the amount of rubber transferred from tire to runway on touchdown. Rarely done today because of the weight and complexity of adding motors, but letting the ground spin up the wheel is pretty expensive both for tire wear and runway maintenance
