Towbarless aircraft towing way is the main perspective of towing aircraft

Nowadays aircraft machinery operators all over the world are turning to the towbarless aircraft towing. It is carried out without a towing bar (carrier) by fixing aircraft nose strut directly on the tow tractor.

Maneuverability

Allows to save the area of sheds, parking lots and production halls thanks to the aircraft space-saving.

Fuel costs reduction

Towbarless tractors have a significantly lower weight, which reduces fuel consumption.

Logistics simplification

Automatic aircraft fixation as well as the absence of transfer necessity, service and keeping different kinds of carriers qualitatively increases the efficiency of ground handling.

The less demand for the covering

The comfortable towing with low quality of the apron covering

The vertical impacts on the aircraft nose strut are absorbed by the tow suspension, the longitudinal twitching is decreasing because of the aircraft partly loading.

Passability in winter conditions

Because of transferring aircraft weight from the aircraft nose strut to the tow tractor the considerable increase of the towing characteristics is achieved.
