I think you are on target with DLC. It is an effective enhancement to stability and ride. Don't get too excited about wheel motors. Keep in mind it is early on, and the French (EU) obsession with IPCC and Climate change is a bit behind the curve (not in front). If I had the space I'd offer my arguments against the concept. It doesn't make sense even if the APGW arguments do. My suggestion to all who are interested is to enhance ground movers, they are more in their realm pulling heavy A/C and could be much improved, even to the extent of meeting heavies at the High Speed exit and transporting them to Gate (Stand) with A/C engines shut down. Or for that matter, tugging them out to the penalty box for runup prior to launch.
