A landing gear system includes a wheel rotatably coupled to the axle about an axis. A motor is fixedly positioned relative to the axle with a clutch assembly operably coupled to an output shaft of the motor. The landing gear includes an actuator and a drive assembly. The actuator applies a braking force to the wheel. The drive assembly includes a pinion gear and a drive gear rotatably associated with the pinion gear. The drive gear is configured to transfer a rotational force to the wheel in order to provide autonomous taxiing capability. Both the brake assembly and the drive assembly are operably coupled to the clutch assembly so that the output shaft of the motor drives both the brake assembly and the drive assembly.
