Tail to tail
Tail to tail
Tail-to-tail operations involve moving ground support equipment or loads between closely positioned aircraft stands and terminal-adjacent areas. Autonomous tow tractors enable these short, repeatable movements in live airport environments, operating safely in mixed traffic while reducing reliance on manual driving.
Designed for controlled routes near passenger terminals, the solution supports efficient ground operations where aircraft interactions are limited and coupling is handled manually or via fixed configurations.
Suitable for:
- Short distances: Well suited to frequent transfers between adjacent stands or nearby operational zones.
- Operating around passenger terminals: Safely operates in busy areas with pedestrians, service vehicles, and infrastructure.
- Limited aircraft interactions: Optimized for environments with minimal direct aircraft proximity.
- No auto-hooking needed: Ideal where coupling does not require automated attachment or towbar systems.
