ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a covered passenger ramp having a back end adapted to provide a connection with an airport building to enable passengers to leave said building via said ramp, an upper, front end, and a telescoping element adapted to move said front end into the proximity of an airplane fuselage, for which purpose it is to be moved further out than the lower front ramp end. In order to adapt the front end of the ramp to different shapes of fuselage in a better manner than has hitherto been possible, an end of the telescoping element remote from the front ramp end has means for positively setting it so that by varying the inclination of the telescoping element the upper, front ramp end may be caused to come into engagement with the fuselage.
