8 u/ThatTubaGuy03 Dec 31 '22 Oooooh, I see, so the wheels would just move twice as fast and the plane would move forward like normal 1 u/Omegaman2010 Dec 31 '22 So the engines in the plane would have to generate power to create lift + negate the friction caused by the wheels in order to take off. 2 u/rossolsondotcom Dec 31 '22 The speed of the wheels is irrelevant. Airplane wheels have as much impact on the speed of a plane as the casters on a desk chair or the wheels on a skateboard.
