Abstract
A method for reducing maintenance and increasing the effective life of an aircraft's landing gear, thereby increasing the aircraft's flight and landing cycles is provided. The present method eliminates adverse stresses and forces produced on landing gear components by the operation of a tow vehicle to tow the aircraft on the ground by providing an onboard wheel driver that is powered to drive at least one of the aircraft's nose wheels or main wheels to move the aircraft on the ground. Movement of the aircraft on the ground is controlled by the operation of the driver-powered drive wheel, eliminating the possibility of damage to landing gear components associated with tug operation.
