The Insane Amount Of Pushback Tugs Pack To Move Giant Airplanes

Рет қаралды 249,281

Күн бұрын

Every airport needs the insane amount of power pushback tugs pack to move giant airplanes. The Pushback tug or also known as a tractor or car is needed at every airport since airplanes are not able to reverse on their own. Even the biggest airplane like the Airbus A380 needs such a pushback tug.
What do you think is the coolest airport vehicle?

Technically, some airplanes CAN go in reverse by use of powerbacking. Its extremely rare to see in commercial aviation nowadays, but tail mounted engines such as the MD80/90, DC9, and 717 can use reverse thrust to back themselves out of the gate. Its rarely used though because it wastes a lot of fuel and creates a lot of noise around the gate area. Also its risky because it can bring up debris from off of the ground if not done properly, which is why wing mounted engines cant really do it.

True fan of aviation here... Aircraft definitely can reverse out of the gate by itself using something called a thrust-back (reverse thrust!) They just tend not to do that because it's considered rude and extremely destructive. Reverse thrust and a bunch of fairly light-weight vehicles packed with food and cargo don't mix... At least not very well.

Couple of coreections : Modern airplanes has turbofan engines and actually they only change direction of fan air. Than portion of thrust is comes not from exhaust so it is not hot. Main reason of not reversing with thrust is possibility of FOD. Even planes are clear from buildings or people such as standing on a taxiway almost all airlines prohibit it. Only exception is smaller turboprop planes; they can do it without damaging the engine. Towbarless trucks are more common in Europe. This type of truck requires only one person for pushback operation, allows hi speed towing for long distance such as maintenance or repositioning towing. But is is expensive in buy and maintenance, It is much more complex than regular pushback truck. Also it has negative effect on nose landing gear life. Nose gear mounted electric systems mainly designed taxiing plane without engine starting. During congested times airplanes can taxi over 1 hour, even one engine taxi operation costs too much. Also this system prevents brake overheating during taxi, because brake will be used only hold the plane not slow down. It is promising technology will see what happens next.

I think it would surprise you just how little power most of the engines produce. When I first started for Delta in '98, our pushback was an old Hough Paymover built by international in the 60s. Originally it had a 549ci gas engine that made somewhere around 245 hp & 475 ft/lbs. Due to them being hard to start & almost impossible to get parts for, they converted all of them to the B5.9 Cummins just like what was used in the 1st gen Dodge trucks, 160 hp & 400 ft/lbs. It was rated to handle anything up to 767 & theoretically could've done much more but this was restricted mainly because it wasn't heavy enough to provide adequate braking. By the time I left in 2014, the largest Goldhofer towbarless tractor used a 16L V8 Deutz similar to what a Scania semi would have. I think they were rated around 450 hp & 1550 ft/lbs but they are all hydraulic drive. No direct connection from the engine to the drive wheels. It doesn't take near the power that you'd think. It's all in the gear reduction.

Technically almost all of them (not the prop engines) can go reverse on their own. But they are not permitted to do so. Because that requires imense amount of thrust which can damage the airport property. These planes are have something call "Reverse Thurst" which is used to slow down the plane on the runway they land. And that same "Reverse Thurst" is powerful enough to reverse the plane but the thurst can damage near by property and can be deadly to the airport crew so they are simply not permitted to use that and hence we see push back tugs/tractors/trucks whatever you want to call them.

These aircraft can use reverse thrust to pushback, propeller planes too by changing propeller pitch angle to negative (Beta). The only reason you will not see this is: 1. Expensive due to the high fuel consumption, opting for cheaper pushback tugs. 2. During that engine intensive process, the jet engines are susceptible to debris intake on the apron & taxi way. 3. Poor rear visibility of the pilot when reversing which could be dangerous for ground personnel, or other aircraft. Thus, there are Federal & Civil aviation laws debarring & limiting civil aircraft from using the above.

They don’t do that because all of the equipment and people working around in front of the plane, and under the terminal would get jet blasted every time the jet needed to back up. Plus the pilot can’t see behind the aircraft and would back into something sooner rather than later. You can’t talk to them on ICS to guide them out, wile you’re standing there at the nose getting jet blasted by 150 mph winds either. So basically the Jet backing itself out doesn’t really work.

Technically almost all Commercial jets can do this with reverse thrusts…….. -_-

Reverse thrust does allow a plane to reverse itself.

They can reverse!! Just not allowed to use reverse thrust in front of the terminal

Have you ever seen a airplane going in reverse? That's because they can't Umm Yes they can, it's just not safe for them to.

Powerful tugs? Videos of 10 men pushing 737s back are on Utube. All aircraft can reverse, but as you said, air blast is dangerous.

Didn't see any rear view mirrors on any airplane yet you want cost cutting to eliminate workers. What would it cost when a plane backing out hits another plane?
