Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a towing vehicle (100) for manoeuvring aeroplanes without using tow bars, the towing vehicle (100) comprising a coupling device (122/124) for gripping and lifting the nose wheel of the aeroplane to be manoeuvred. According to the invention, the towing vehicle (100) comprises a pressure store (176), in which operating fluid is stored under pressure, a release initiation device (178), which can be actuated manually by an operator and which in a release initiation position connects the pressure store (176) to a release device (180), and the release device (180), which is configured and intended, upon manual transfer of the release initiation means (178) into the release initiation position by the operator, initially to lower the nose wheel of the aeroplane automatically until it stands on the travel surface, simply by means of the pressure energy stored in the pressure store (176) and the potential energy of the nose wheel load, and only subsequently to release the nose wheel.
