Autonomous pushback braking system limits wheel drive torque to maintain longitudinal stability and prevent tip-over during reverse motion.
Auxiliary hydraulic circuit repressurizes the alternative braking accumulator, enabling frequent brake operations without engine power.
Battery-powered motors drive rail wheels on deployable legs, reducing acoustic signature for stealthy troop movement.
Wheel design accommodates electric drive motor within landing gear well without modifying existing components.
Pre-positioning spare aircraft with electric drive assemblies reduces fuel consumption and extends operational life for low cost carriers.
An intermediary power vehicle connects to aircraft auxiliary loads, eliminating fuel consumption and engine damage from dust during ground operations.
Segmented brake control applies force to specific wheels to reach anti-skid limits, resolving deceleration conflicts for precise runway friction measurement.
Automated monitoring and control system manages non-engine drive means to enhance airport ground safety while reducing collision risks.
