| Twin Chorus® electric nose wheel motors |
 The core of the WheelTug system are the twin Chorus® motors integrated into the aircraft's nosewheels.
The Chorus Motors are a proprietary design for which WheelTug holds the sole aircraft ground operations rights. Chorus Motors are ideal for this application because they pack a lot of power in a small space without the dangers associated with conventional high-power electric motors. |
|
| Inverter |
The inverter will enable the Chorus Motors to use the power provided by the aircraft's APU. The inverter will also control the Chorus Motors through custom designed software. |
|
| Wire Harness |
The wire harness will provide wiring for the WheelTug's power and control mechanisms requirements. A data-only wire harness will connect the cockpit and the inverter. A power+data harness will connect the inverter and the Chorus motors.
Co-Operative Industries, an industry leader that has been a manufacturer of electrical wiring cables and interconnects for over 62 years, is leading our wire harness development. |
|
| Cockpit Controls |
 The entire WheelTug system is controlled from the cockpit using a simple joystick interface. To ease certification, the WheelTug system controls and data flow will not interface with any other aircraft systems.
Luxell is our cockpit controls partner. Luxell has a superb track record of providing top-tier Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems for aerospace, naval and land vehicles. |
