Parallel parking at terminals
Original language description
Electric taxi systems have the potential to lower direct costs as well to make the aircraft turn-around more effective. The description of electric taxi systems for the purpose of estimating direct savings resulting from their use can be found in Hospodka (2014), where the direct saving is estimated at EUR 119 per one flight operated by a narrow-body airplane. Besides direct savings, electric taxi systems offer other cost benefits to airlines. One of the more significant ones is the faster turn-around resulting from parallel parking at terminals. This will be enabled by the fact that aircraft equipped with electric taxi systems will be capable of performing parking manoeuvers in order to be positioned with their port side parallel to the terminal building. This manoeuver is called WheelTug TWIST. This article further assumes the use of the WheelTug? electric taxi system, i.e. a system with a powered nose wheel. This system enables sharper turns and a more precise ground movement contro
