The Bucher aircraft tractor is an aircraft tow vehicle built for the Swiss Air Force by the military vehicle division of Bucher-Guyer AG. Following a restructuring of this division it was sold to Mowag which is now responsible for support. The Bucher tug is very compact as it is designed to operate in the Swiss Air Force's aircraft caverns (or underground hangars). It runs on diesel fuel to lower the risk of fire. For precise maneuvering around the caverns, pilot tunnels and shelters it is equipped with special downward-shining floor lighting headlights to help the driver to follow floor markings.It is also used to provide a power supply to aircraft whitout an Auxiliary power unit. It is used as well as tractors for about 1-4 engine start units or for ad hoc transport of mechanics and tools (e.g. spare wheel and jack by a flat tire of a landed aircraft). JuAir at Dübendorf AFB is the only civil user of this aircraft tug type. ==Specifications== * Drive axle rear differential lock * Drum brakes on all wheels * Tubeless tires * Wheelbase * Track * Turning radius * Ground clearance Image:Bucher-heli.jpg|Bucher aircraft tractor and Aérospatiale AS 332 Image:Dübendorf - Flugplatz - JU-AIR 2011-09-01 14-10-36.jpg|Bucher aircraft tractor and Ju-52 Image:F-5ready for taxing.jpg |Bucher aircraft tractor Northrop F-5 Image:Siwatransport.jpg|Bucher aircraft tractor & AIM-9 Image:Swiss Air Force DHC-6.jpg|pulling Swiss Air Force DHC-6 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bucher aircraft tractor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
