EGTS is an electric taxiing system which allows aircraft to taxi and pushback without requiring the use of aircraft engines, and is designed to reduce fuel volumes used by aircraft and reduce greenhouse gas emissions during ground operations. It was developed by EGTS International, a joint venture between Honeywell Aerospace and Safran. The joint venture was announced at the 2011 Paris Air Show. EGTS technology was invented in 2003 by Delos Aerospace and since 2007 many electric taxiing systems have been explored based on the pioneering patents of Delos Aerospace. www.Dleos.Aero EGTS technology enables aircraft to avoid using their main engines during taxiing and instead taxi autonomously under their own electrical power, using the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) generator. The system is designed for single-aisle aircraft, such as the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 737. == Early development of EGTS == Honeywell and Safran were working on green taxiing solutions independently for a number of years prior to their joint venture announcement at the Paris Air Show in 2011. Following the initial phase of ground testing and first move in April 2013, the system was formally demonstrated at the Paris Air Show 2013. 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「EGTS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
