An aerodynamic device that spools up the main wheel landing gear on transport airplanes including airliners.
This device could be located at the hub area, something that attaches to any part of the wheel assembly. Very small, lightweight made from plastic. The idea is to spin the tire at approximately 10 mph tire speed prior to touchdown.
The results:
Smoother touchdowns - no jolting with pavement contact.
Less Tire wear
Simple and effective design.
