Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for automatically pushing aircraft back from an airport gate and/or for automatically taxiing an aircraft. At least one engines-off drive is attached to at least one landing gear wheel to apply a rotational force and/or a rotation impeding force to the at least one landing gear wheel. At least one friction brake is attached to at least one landing gear wheel to apply a rotation impeding force to the at least one landing gear wheel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1 . An automatic taxiing system for an aircraft, the system comprising: a controller having an engines-off drive output and a friction brake output; at least one engines-off drive attached to at least one landing gear wheel of the aircraft, wherein the at least one engines-off drive is configured to apply at least one of: positive torque or negative torque to the at least one landing gear wheel, in response to the engines-off output, in non-emergency stop circumstanc…
