ABSTRACT:
An aircraft handler for use with twin nosewheeled aircraft comprises a frame for fitting to the wheel-supporting structure of the aircraft, a pair of driving drums mounted to turn in the frame, for frictional engagement with respective wheels of the aircraft, a source of power providing independent drive to the two drums and a separate control unit connected to the frame by a flexible connection, by means of which the two drums may be controlled. The source of power may comprise a pair of independently-controllable electric motors operated by separate controls in the control unit, these conveniently being mounted on the frame and the flexible connection supplying signals to the motors from the control unit.
Alternatively each drum may be driven by a separate, independently-controlled hydraulic motor mounted on the frame.
