A Pushback Tug is a specialized vehicle used at airports to move aircraft away from the gate. It is designed to push or tow planes, especially larger ones, that cannot taxi on their own. The tug connects to the aircraft's nose gear and provides the necessary force to maneuver it safely. These tugs are essential for efficient airport operations, as they help reduce the risk of accidents and save time during aircraft turnaround. They are often operated by ground crew members and are equipped with powerful engines to handle the weight of various aircraft types, including commercial airliners and cargo planes.
