    "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."

    Yes I would die under the weight of the plane.
    But planes seem to deal very nicely every day with this weight (due to big wings and big engines) , and a bit more drag on the wheels due to a doubling of their rotation speed isnt going to be such a big deal in percentage terms..
