An aircraft drive wheel drive system 32 mounted on nose or main landing gear wheels 12 to move the aircraft autonomously on the ground includes a torque transmission system for effectively transmitting torque through drive system components to a modified tow hitch torque takeout element. The drive system 38 includes a drive means 36 capable of generating sufficient torque to move the aircraft, a drive system capable of generating a high torque capacity for its size and weight that actuates the drive means, and a clutch assembly 40 that can be selectively engaged to control torque transmission to the drive system and actuate the drive means. The clutch assembly is configured to be inactivated by press fitting it into a housing recess when an overtorque event occurs. The aircraft drive wheel drive system components are intended to withstand torque in excess of an expected maximum torque.
