20 mph is fast enough for the reverse gear.

I realize this isnt the way the technolgy works (its more like a snowmobile) but it would look cool to have a shift lever on the pedastal (eight ball shifter knob) and a "gas" pedal on the far right side of the floor.;)
 
Hi!

About a year ago, I read about Boeing testing this equipment out, and posted it, somewhere.

When jet engines run on the groud, they burn A LOT of fuel, produce A LOT of greenhouse gases, and make a lot of noise.

Virgin America has already been towing 747s to the runway via tug, and then starting up close to takeoff time.
