So how would I go about finding the magnitude of force...?

Yes. It's actually the chairman of WheelTug that challenged me to figure this out! Here's a test plane.

The motor would be in the actual front 2 wheels.

Sorry. Some person was discussing how a plane's wheels would just spin without moving the plane if you were to affix a motor to a plane -unless the motor can provide a certain amount of torque.

Any idea how to work out the range of torque required to pull a 737-800? To start of with need to work out the centre of gravity, with 15-25% of total weight being in the nose. Any idea how to to this? (This is not homework btw)
