    Do you have any references for this 'several tonnes' amount? We're only talking increased wheel drag here...remember airspeed for takeoff is not increased.

    No, but it's obvious. If I parked a plane on your head, you'd die under several tonnes of pressure. The friction that causes between plane and ground, and I am guessing, is HUGE, and not insignificant "wheel drag". It's very significant.
