Electric planes! Pull the other one

No I’m not pulling your leg or your undercarriage, it’s called WheelTug. Instead of planes using their jet engines to taxi at 15mph or being lugged around by chugging tugging trucks, a Gibraltar-based company could put a stop to all this monkeying around. Wheeltug Plc have developed high-torque electric motors powerful enough to pull a passenger jet, and what’s more they are built into the aircraft’s own wheels. Genius! Delta airlines think so too and have ordered the motors to be installed in their Boeing 737NG fleet by late 2009.
