Magnetically induced aircraft landing wheel rotation
First Claim
1. An aircraft landing wheel assembly such that an imposed electrical current in electrically conductive material gives rise to primary magnetic fields and such electrically conductive material is incorporated into at least one static component of the aircraft landing wheel assembly and brake assembly including their mounting structures such that the primary magnetic field forces interact with reactive magnetic field forces originating from material sustaining a magnetic field incorporated into rotating components of the aircraft landing wheel assembly, so as to induce rotational forces acting on rotating components creating controlled forward rotation of aircraft landing wheels prior to contact with a runway and controlled retardation assistance after touch down during deceleration of an aircraft.

Abstract
An aircraft landing wheel assembly comprising a set of rotating components and a set of static components wherein an applied electrical current applied to conductive elements associated with one set of components gives rise to primary magnetic fields which interact with reactive magnetic fields associated with the other set of components whereby the interaction of magnetic field forces gives rise to rotational forces which act on the rotating components of said aircraft landing wheel assembly to induce controlled forward rotation of the landing wheel prior to contact with the runway and controlled retardation assistance as required during deceleration of the aircraft after touch down with the runway.
