Description:

Towbarless Pushback Tug [Prop]

In aviation, pushback is an airport procedure during which an aircraft is pushed backwards away from an airport gate by external power. Pushbacks are carried out by special, low-profile vehicles called pushback tractors or tugs.

There are two types of pushback tractors: conventional and towbarless (TBL)

Towbarless tractors do not use a towbar. They scoop up the nose wheel and lift it off the ground, allowing the tug to maneuver the aircraft. This allows better control of the aircraft and higher speeds without anyone in the cockpit.[2] The main advantage of a towbarless tug is simplicity. (wikipedia)
