Currently, among the issues that most concern airlines are controlling operating costs and reducing harmful impacts on the environment.
One solution to reduce fuel costs and reduce environmental impact is the use of an electric green taxiing system, which can save several hundred thousand dollars per aircraft per year, thereby increasing overall business profitability while reducing the negative impact on the environment. Wednesday.
This bachelor's thesis proposes an autonomous aircraft taxiing system based on the EGTS concept, however, it is proposed to use a hydromechanical system rather than electric motors to drive the landing gear wheels.
The work presents a design solution for this system for a designed prototype aircraft and calculation of the main parameters of the taxiing system. This system may have practical applications.
