I used to watch a lot of airplane landings and take-off. My favourite moment is when airplane tyres touch the ground. Friction produces a lot of heat and hence, smoke.
But i wonder, why not pilot start rotating wheels before landing and match the speed of wheels such that it doesn’t cause any friction.

Might be able to put some little vanes on them so the airflow as they’re deployed gets them spinning the right direction. That would be one of those fun but expensive research projects that only the government could afford to do.
