BOEING CO. has tested an electric motor that could allow commercial jets to taxi around airports without using their engines or ground-based towing vehicles, the company said. Other pluses for this is increased worker safety (running jet engines can be a tad dangerous and noisy), and improved passenger comfort as the terminal would no longer smell like a leaky tank of kerosene. I like it. Or something like it anyway.
