AIRCRAFT GROUND-HANDLING VEHICLE WITH LINKING CONTROL OF THE SUPPORT PLATE

摘要

In order to accept and fix the nose wheels of an aircraft in a recess of the U-shaped chassis, an aircraft ground-handling vehicle has a lifting and clamping device with a support plate gripping the nose wheel from behind and pushing it onto a run-up ramp. According to the invention, the tilt angle of the support plate is controlled during its advancing movement by means of a control linkage in such a way that at the start of the receiving movement the lower part of the support plate is moved more strongly forwards, and towards the end of the receiving movement, the upper part of the support plate is moved more strongly forwards.
