Hi everyone,
I’m please to introduce you my latest MOC, the Aircraft Super Tug, an attempt to make something inspired from the Goldhofer AST-1X 1360 used for moving biggest aircraft including A380 on airport platform. If you’re curious there’s some nice videos on Youtube.
The MOC:

There is some basic function controlled through SBrick inside:
Propulsion (1 PF XL)
Steering (1 PF-M) through several mini linear actuator
Catch the aircraft landing gear (1 PF-M): adaptable to different size of wheel
Lift/down the aircraft (1 PF-M) through 2 linear actuators
A video will explain better :
There’s a lot of issues with the functions, the gears don’t engage properly so the truck is unable to move or turn under its own power.
Not a great success so maybe I will restart this vehicle from zero one day to make a better version 2. Thank you for your time, best regards,
