日臻成熟的无杆式飞机牵引车

Aircraft Towbarless Tractor in Developing

近年来,无杆式飞机牵引车(简称TLT)技术引起了民航界越来越多的注意。这里所谓的“无杆”是相对于通过牵引杆牵引或顶推飞机的传统的牵引车而言的,即它在地面调度飞机时,无须牵引杆。主要的优点和技术难点如果把传统的牵引飞机的方式比喻成用一台拖拉机或汽车牵引一辆前轴可绕转盘回转的四轮拖车的话,那么大多数TLT的作业方式即类似于一台拖车头牵引半挂拖车的情形。在TLT作业时,被牵引的飞机的前起落架不是用自己的轮胎在地面上滚动,

Aircaft towbarless tractor (TLT) has been developing during the past decade. Comparing with aircraft towbar tractor, TLT is characterised as smaller size, more safty, lower noise and emission , reduced operation cost, low self-weight, etc . More and more airlines take interest in it.
