The Vought F7U-3 Cutlass had a bleed-air line running down the nose landing gear strut that spun two paddle wheels. one on each nose gear wheel, to reduce kickback loads on the nose-landing-gear strut-mounting structure at touchdown. See https://tailspintopics.********.com/...-it-right.html and scroll down.

The problem with the link is that the asterisks are automatically substituted for a word that Prune apparently considers verboten. If you want to see the post, google tailspintopics and search for F7U-3...

Thanks to Doug for the pilot note.
