“…In the future, aircraft tractor can be designed into highly integrated intelligent products such as machine, electricity, liquid and gas through intelligent vehicle technology [9]. In addition, the aircraft is automatically towed to the corridor bridge by an unmanned aircraft tractor after landing through unmanned driving technology [10], and it can be directly sent to the runway by an unmanned vehicle when the aircraft leaves the tarmac, which can save a lot of fuel, improve the utilization rate of the vehicle, and reduce energy consumption. With the continuous expansion of airport construction scale, it has a broad prospect to develop a new generation of aircraft tractor combined with the intelligent automobile and unmanned driving technology.…”

The airports construction level is improved and the construction scale is constantly expanded with the rapid development of society, economy and science and technology, which brings a good development prospect for aircraft towing tractors. On the basis of summarizing the current research and application of aircraft towing tractors, the traction characteristics of towbar and towbarless aircraft tractors were analyzed, and the mechanical, electric, hydrodynamic and hydraulic transmission automatic control system were compared. The composition, working principle and application of hydraulic steering control system, hydraulic braking control system, hydraulic clamping and lifting mechanism and hydraulic hybrid power system of aircraft towing tractors were emphatically discussed. The results show that the configuration of towbarless traction is flexible and the traction capability is strong. Hydraulically controlled aircraft towing tractor has good traction, braking and control characteristics. Electronic hydraulic braking system is precisely controllable, and the hydraulic hybrid technology is beneficial to reduce the energy consumption of aircraft towing tractors. The demand for aircraft towing tractors is increasing with the expansion of the airport distribution and construction, on the basis of constantly improving the existing aircraft towing tractor and according to the needs of airport operation, it is necessary to adopt innovative technology to develop energy-saving, environment-friendly and intelligent aircraft towing tractors, so as to adapt the development needs of aviation industry.

“…With the reduction of induced drag from control surfaces, the aircraft is expected to be flown similarly to a glider during cruise. The novel design also encompasses a twin-boom design that supports the high wing tail behind the main body [4]. This choice of configuration has been previously utilized due to its stable structure and weight reduction [5].…”

Agriculture is a sector in Malaysia where the usage of drones has been widespread throughout seeding, surveying, and crop spraying. It has been well known that the current usage of drones in pineapple farms specifically in Malaysia can be further improved upon. This novel design combines the long flight capabilities of fixed-wing aircraft with the efficiency of the common multirotor UAV hence it is a hybrid of both. The methodology of this research uses flight simulations to extract the data concerned with its flying quality such as coefficient of lift, drag, and moments. This research evaluates the longitudinal stability within the computationally simulated data extracted from a mission-profiled flight. The aim of this is the understanding of practical uses as well as the modification needed prior to manufacture.
