Abstract:
A disc-shaped accessory having radially-hinged flaps is adapted to be attached to an aircraft wheel. The flaps open no more than 90 (preferably 45-70) in an airstream to exert a rotational torque on the wheel, causing the wheel to spin. The rotation helps reduce tire wear and damage during aircraft landing.
