Abstract
A method is provided for automatically or manually optimizing independent ground travel operation in an aircraft equipped with one or more self-propelled nose or main wheels powered by a driver means, wherein selected operating parameters indicative of optimized ground travel are monitored by sensors or detectors to provide data and information relating to the selected parameters during operation of the ground travel system. Selected operating parameters can include, for example, speed, direction of travel, torque, component thermal data, aircraft location data, and operator inputs, commands, and feedback, as well as other operational data or information. Data is collected, recorded, and analyzed to enable changes to be made to the ground travel system components in real time automatically by intelligent software or manually by a system operator or at a later time to ensure optimum operation of the system.
