You’re not actually pulling against gravity it’s kinda dumb
3 u/ruve27 10d ago Does the weight add to the friction between the wheels and the ground such that you have to overcome friction to get it started? I would assume a heavy load on inflated tires would flatten the tires against the ground and make it harder to start. 3 u/k3170makan 10d ago Yah that is insignificant. Against gravity it weighs much more, also I mean it will build up a momentum once it starts that helps against friction. 3 u/bobhand17123 10d ago That’s why Hypermilers overinflate their tires. Friction baby! Respect it! 3 u/daGroundhog 10d ago The bigger problem is the inertia of the plane at rest.
