Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed a method of transferring airplanes and an unmanned airplane transfer system. The transfer system comprises a transfer module adapted to transfer an airplane by moving a landing gear of the airplane; and a controller being assembled with the transfer system, coupled to the transfer module, and adapted to i) receive a transfer signal; ii) to control the transfer module in response to the transfer signal; and iii) to coordinate transferring the airplane by the unmanned airplane transfer system and at least one second unmanned airplane transfer system. The method of transferring an airplane by a plurality of unmanned airplane transfer systems comprises receiving by at least one unmanned airplane transfer system among said plurality of transfer systems a transfer signal, and in response to the transfer signal, coordinating the transfer of the airplane by at least two unmanned airplane transfer systems among said plurality of transfer systems.
