  2. Taxiing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxiing

    Taxiing (rarely spelled taxying) [1] is the movement of an aircraft on the ground, under its own power, in contrast to towing or pushback where the aircraft is moved by a tug. The aircraft usually moves on wheels, but the term also includes aircraft with skis or floats (for water-based travel).

  3. EGTS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EGTS

    EGTS is an electric taxiing system enabling an aircraft to taxi independently of its main engines or tug. [2]Each of the two main landing gear inboard wheels is driven by an electric motor powered by the auxiliary power unit (APU) generator, allowing the aircraft to push back from the gate without an airport tug and to taxi without the use of the main engines.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_Ramp_Weight

    The maximum ramp weight (MRW) (also known as the maximum taxi weight (MTW)) is the maximum weight authorised for manoeuvring (taxiing or towing) an aircraft on the ground as limited by aircraft strength and airworthiness requirements. It includes the weight of taxi and run-up fuel for the engines and the auxiliary power unit (APU).

    This maneuver is also known as an orbital plane change as the plane of the orbit is tipped. This maneuver requires a change in the orbital velocity vector ( delta v ) at the orbital nodes (i.e. the point where the initial and desired orbits intersect, the line of orbital nodes is defined by the intersection of the two orbital planes).
