RESEARCH AND OBSERVATION

       Aircraft ground handling is one of the most important operation in order to run the aviation industry smoothly.  Its operation mainly in moving an aircraft from one point to another in safe condition without damaging the aircraft,  less  time and most important efficient.

         The product that we produce technically improvise the current R22 Helicopter carrier which heavy and at the same time provide proper equipment for R22 mobility in ground. Besides, this product is featuring with new method of handling and with original ideas based on discussions and various sources. This carrier is invented by our team to take care and prolong the life span of the institute’s property which is the R22 light helicopter. This product allow a better towing process with full of safety to the aircraft and person who handling the task; towing.

RESEARCH OF MATERIAL

1.      The development achieved in aviation industry mainly in ground handling operation has improved  the method of ground handling operation towards more efficient.

2.      Knowledge and understanding on aircraft ground handling, aircraft limitation and safety procedure needed by ground handling personnel in order  to keep the aircraft move in safe condition without damaging its structure. This is because it will influence the aircraft performance  during its operation. Therefore,  there are various  type of ground handling equipment used in aviation industries nowdays.

3.      Type of ground handling equipment is important due to avoid damage to the aircraft as well as type of ground handling material used itself.

4.      Most of the type of metal used in producing ground handling equipment are normally used mild steel which is low carbon steel (<0.3 % carbon content). This is because mild steel possess high ductility, high toughnes, moderately priced and also machinable.

5.      Mild steel are not just weldable, but also good formability. Mild steel also rated at 55 – 60 % machinability.

6.      Normally mild steel thickness used in ground handling equipment material is between 3mm – 38.1mm.

7.      Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength, but it is cheap and malleable. It surface hardness can be increased through carburizing.

8.      Mild steel contain less carbon than other steels and are easier to cold-form, making them easier to handle.
