TaxiBot system, a semi-robotic towbarless tractor that tows an aircraft from the airport gate to the take-off point (taxi-out phase) and returns it to the gate after landing (taxi-in phase).

I just want to say that the concept was discovered by one designer who was employed only one year in this compagny. The success of this new tractor has won the innovation price whiteout award his inventor.

The better advantage of this system at IAI, is retrofitted of the modern airplane A380 and B747-8, and I hope that my country used in next years. Colombia is the first born aviation company in all America. 26 September of 1919.

The advantage of TaxiBot, I believe, is that it can be retrofitted to all current and future airplanes. WheelTug must be incorporated into the design of future aircraft.
