ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for washing an aircraft has a turn table situated on the ground and capable of turning while carrying at least the main wheels of the aircraft. The apparatus further has a main washing carriage having a length substantially equal to the length of the aircraft and disposed at one side of the turn table such as to extend in parallel with the axis of the aircraft. The main washing carriage is movable in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the aircraft towards and away from the aircraft. The apparatus also has a plurality of washing devices carried by the main washing carriage for movement in the longitudinal direction of the main washing carriage, the washing devices having washing units accessible to predetermined different regions of the side of the aircraft carried by the turn table. In operation, after the aircraft to be washed is stationed on the turn table, the main washing carriage is moved towards the aircraft so that the washing devices on the main washing carriage wash respective regions on the side of the aircraft adjacent the main washing carriage. Then, the main washing carriage is moved away from the aircraft and the turn table is rotated 180.degree. to make the unwashed side of the aircraft accessible, and the main washing carriage approaches the aircraft again to allow the washing devices to wash the unwashed side of the aircraft.
