Still, windows-up taxiing does seem to have caught on this summer.

They were slowed now and the taxiing, while a touch erratic, was quieter.

The prototype conducted a high-speed taxiing and briefly became airborne.

He opened the throttle slowly and fed the forward jets enough power for ordinary taxiing.

Soon the engines wound up for the taxiing and again for take-off.

The plane shook violently, then continued its taxiing and took off before the pilot explained to the passengers that there had been a major earthquake.

Due to the high power produced even with the engines at idle, only the two outer engines were run after landing for easier taxiing.

The flight was surprisingly smooth and comfortable once they were airborne; more so, she thought, than a bigger plane, although it had been much bumpier taxiing.

They occurred during low-speed taxiing, takeoffs and landings, and occasionally the strut unlocked.

On the downside were the notoriously tricky taxiing, ground handling and takeoff/landing characteristics, especially exacerbated with a bomb load.

The old 04/22 runway is no longer used for takeoffs or landings, but is used for parking and taxiing of larger aircraft.

An elephant walk is a USAF term for the taxiing of military aircraft right before takeoff, when they are in close formation.

Electric taxiing was invented by Delos Aerospace and patented in the US in 2007.

In 1908 it witnessed the first taxiing and towed flight trials of a British full-size powered aircraft by a British pilot, Alliott Verdon-Roe.

Mr. Rachuba said the last time he checked for ice was near the end of the taxiing, as the plane went to the takeoff point on the runway, just a few minutes before the crash.

This would normally include taxiing, which involves the ground operation to and from the runway, as long as the taxiing is carried out with the intention of flying the aircraft.

Those who observed this said that the taxiing of these large numbers of aircraft to takeoff in single file in nose-to-tail formations said that they looked like elephants walking to the next watering hole.

For someone who came from a long spacefaring heritage, right out of one of those small spaceports where shuttling cargo or space taxiing were just about the only ways to make a living, Nancy never had much confidence in herself.

A movement area, as defined by ICAO, is "That part of an aerodrome to be used for the takeoff, landing and taxiing of aircraft, consisting of the maneuvering area and the apron(s)."
