A powered drive unit system of an aircraft is disclosed herein. The system may include a support structure, a plurality of motor driven tires configured to present a horizontal motive force on an object, and an axle of a tire. The axle of the tire may be retained by the support structure. The object may move relative to the static support structure. The location of an axle of the tire may be rigidly fixed in position relative to the support structure housing the axle. Normal force on the object by the tire may be created through tire compliance. The axle of the tire may be retained by the support structure. The axis of rotation of the axle may be in a substantially static three dimensional plane relative to the support structure.
