An aircraft mover 10 has a wheeled chassis 12 and a drive generation means 20 mounted to the wheeled chassis 12 which is arranged to provide a motive force to the aircraft mover. The mover includes an aircraft engagement mechanism 22 for releasably engaging an aircraft 28 for manoeuvring. An aircraft position locator 46 is arranged to determine a relative position and/or orientation of the said aircraft 28 relative to the aircraft mover 10 and a processor 44 in communication with the aircraft position locator 46 is arranged to calculate an optimum or preferred trajectory 54 for the aircraft mover to engage the aircraft engagement mechanism with a nose landing gear 26 of the said aircraft 28. Methods of calculating and using the optimum or preferred trajectory 54, and a system for assisting with the transit of grounded aircraft 28 are also provided. |
