Abstract
A method for improving both drive system performance and energy efficiency performance both in an aircraft equipped with one or more drive wheel drive systems to move the aircraft autonomously on the ground is provided and in an aircraft that relies on its engines for ground movement. Achieving these objectives takes advantage of a discovered relationship between aircraft tyre pressure, drive system performance, and energy efficiency. Monitoring and maintaining tyre inflation pressure of an aircraft's tyres at an inflation level near a high end or recommended maximum cold or hot operating pressure for a specific kind of aircraft tyre on a specific aircraft not only improves drive wheel drive system performance, but also substantially and significantly improves energy efficiency in all types of aircraft.
