4.5.2.1.1 on the aircraft taxiing solutions

On the aircraft taxiing solutions utilize electric motors integrated directly into the landing gear hubs to propel the aircraft without starting the main engines. This localized electrification reduces fuel consumption, main turbine wear, and airport noise. Challenges in developing these onboard systems include managing the added weight of the hub motors and protecting electrical components from landing shocks.
