A taxi drive system is disclosed that provides motive force to wheels of an aircraft. The motive force is transferred by a motor powered continuous track (e.g., belt, chain, or other flexible transmission element) directly to the wheel(s) of an aircraft. The system is carried by the landing gear of the aircraft, and is placed in engagement with an aircraft wheel with sufficient force to allow for the track to drive the aircraft wheel. The taxi drive system includes a separate motor from the main aircraft engines so that the aircraft may be taxied while the main engines are shutdown or at idle.
