THE Goldhofer AST-1 X is growing (Part 4)
The building of the biggest towbarless aircraft tractor of the world

[19] - A view under the wing to the nose landing gear...

The tarmac is not really flat...

[20] - The nose landing gear is perfectly fixed in the tractor...

View under the engines to the nose landing gear...

[21] - Impressive: the height of the tail wing of the A380 is more than 24 Meter!

Nice: the wing at the body and the impressive height of the tail wing: 24 meters...

[22] - Moving the A380 backwards to the noice reduction wall...

The first movement is nearly finished!

[23] - ... till the parking position is reached.

From this view one does not expect the length of more than 70 meters for the A380...

[24] - Goldhofer AST-1 X 800 coupled to the NLG of the Airbus A380

...now: set down the nose landing gear and the very first movement of the Airbus A380 with the Goldhofer AST-1 X aircraft tractor is finished.
