Design and Research of Double-Wheeled Helicopter Tractor

Abstract Due to the limited wheel size, existing domestic helicopter tractors are only applicable to some small and medium-sized single-wheeled helicopters. This paper introduces a double-wheeled helicopter tractor. The wheel holding mechanism can maximally hold a helicopter with a wheel diameter of 500mm, thus suitable for most common types of general aviation airports, such as Z-9, AS-365N, EC-155, AW -139, AS-332, etc. By improving stable torque output of the motor at low speed, self-developed reducer greatly increases the applicability and safety of helicopter traction.
