Development of Battery-Operated Taxi Bots for Aircraft Movement

Source

Source summary

Develop battery-operated taxi bots to tow aircraft from stand to the pre-take-off holding point and from the post-landing holding point to the parking bay. The stated aims are engine-off taxiing, push-back starts, more usable parking space, and lower fuel, engine-hour and manpower use; these benefits remain source objectives.
