Abstract
1460060 Tractors for manoeuvring aircraft M L AVIATION CO Ltd 2 May 1975 [6 May 1974] 19858/74 Heading B7H An aircraft handler for use with a light aircraft or helicopter fitted with skids 12 comprises a frame 14 having a pair of coaxial wheels 15 driven by an electric motor 30, a jacking system 16 including a lifting beam 17 for attachment to the skids 12 or the undercarriage structure of the aircraft, and a steering arm 20 which extends rigidly from the frame 14 and terminates in a handle 21 carrying controls 22 for the motor 30 and the jacking system 16. The motor 30 drives the wheels 15 through a differential 31 and parallel gear trains 35 which transmit the drive either to the wheel axles or to serrated drums engaging the peripheries of the wheels. The jacking system 16 comprises a lifting member 47 which is connected to the frame 14 by parallel links 48, 49 and can be raised by a hydraulic ram 44 to which fluid is supplied by a pump driven by a second electric motor 38. The lifting member 47 engages with the lifting beam 17 in a manner permitting the beam to turn on the member 47, and the ends of the beam 17 are clamped to elements 57 fitted to the front ends of the skids 12. Each skid 12 also has attached thereto a wheel assembly 22 including a screw jack operated by a handle 78 to lower wheels 23 and raise the rear end of the skid from the ground. The electric motors 30, 38 are energized through operating circuits housed in replaceable units 40, 41, 42 from batteries 36 carried on the frame 14 or from an external source to which the handler is connected by a detachable lead.
