Abstract
An electric taxi system (ETS) for an aircraft may include a ground speed sensor, a speed selection unit and a speed computer coupled to the ground speed sensor and to the speed selection unit. The speed computer may produce a speed error signal. A motor controller coupled to a wheel motor may control speed of the wheel motor responsively to the speed error signal.
