Came across a Canadian registered Citation CE-550 on one of our FBO ramps this morning with an addition to the nose gear I haven't seen before. Gravel kit that uses ram air to pre-spin nose tire prior to touchdown with bleed air used to regulate tire speed from the cockpit. I guess the idea being a tire already rotating doesn't dig in and kick up as much gravel possibly hitting the airframe or being ingested into an engine.
Definately something you don't see much of in S FL..
