Abstract
A ground maneuver assistance system for aircraft, more particularly for airplanes, the system including a carriage driven on a track by a drive means, the speed of which can be matched to a landing or takeoff speed of the airplane, the carriage including a chassis configured to move on the track; a movable platform configured to support the airplane; and means for connecting the platform to the chassis, which means are configured to establish relative movement between the platform and the chassis, and the platform including coupling means configured to grip and release the airplane.
Claims19
A ground maneuver assistance system for aircraft, more particularly for aeroplanes, said system comprising:
- a carriage driven on a runway by a drive means, a speed of which may be adapted to a landing or take off speed of the aeroplane,
- the carriage comprising a chassis configured to move on the runway;
- a mobile platform configured to support the aeroplane, the platform comprising coupling means configured to engage and release the aeroplane;
- and means for connecting the platform to the chassis, configured to create relative movement between the platform and the chassis;
- in which the connection means enable translational maneuvering of the platform, in at least one vertical direction and one transverse direction relative to the travel of the carriage;
- and in which the connection means also allow rotation of the platform in space along three perpendicular axes of rotation, so as to orient the platform in a plane corresponding to the take off or landing angle of the aeroplane.
