  • Patent number: 4385739
    Abstract: This invention relates to a system for reducing tire wear of airborne vehicles that require a runway upon which to land, wherein there is provided from an aircraft's engines, or other source, a stream of air such that the stream of air is directed against mechanical housings affixed to the wheels of the airborne vehicle, the housings comprising a number of radially spaced surfaces symmetrically positioned about the housings and thus about the wheels of the airborne vehicles such that the stream of air is directed against the radially spaced surfaces imparting to same energy thereby causing the housings and the wheels upon which the housings are mounted to rotate, resulting in controlled rotations of the wheels of the airborne vehicle at the point of landing so as to commence and continue rotation of the wheels at a regulated rate equivalent to the landing speed of the airborne vehicle prior to its landing thereby eliminating excess wear of the tires on the airborne vehicle as well as achieving an added degree
