A powered aircraft wheel includes multiple wheel sections configured to define a cavity within the wheel and to support completely within the wheel cavity an onboard non-engine drive means controllable to move an aircraft autonomously without reliance on aircraft engines during taxi and ground travel. Each part of the powered wheel may be constructed of a material specifically selected to emphasize a functional property of the material that is optimal for the function of the wheel part at a specific location. The selected combination of functionally distinct materials gives the powered aircraft wheel a unique optimal structural and functional capability. An outboard section 20 may be made of material selected for stiffness such as titanium while an inboard section 18 may be made of a material selected for good heat conductivity such as aluminium.
