Multi-functional airfield tractor.
So, what is it different from a huge number of other aircraft tugs? To date, this is the first and only representative of the fourth generation because, of course, the best. When we first met, he immediately strike dimensions: length 14.5 m, width of 4.35 m and a height of 2.32 m (without exhaust system) weight of the truck is 70 tons. From him and breathes inside hidden power. And really – his eight-cylinder turbo diesel 12 liters develops immodest 1550 HP Thanks to this power and the latest double-circuit transmission MAT is able to move with a full load at a speed of 25 km/h. For comparison, the maximum speed of most existing tractors under load does not exceed 10 km/h Maximum speed without load is 60 km/h. Such a high rate (at standard tractors it is twice less) allows the machine to quickly and autonomously change their location, especially if to remember its weight and dimensions. Standard ground clearance of the machine is only 14 cm, but the developer is going to release sarojadevi off-road version. Despite the impressive size, the MAT has a high maneuverability thanks to its independent front and rear steering. The new system of smooth adjustment of the angle of the course allows us to reduce the load on the tires when maneuvering and significantly increase their service life. Speaking of tires – even this would not have happened without the revolutionary technologies! They are made from the latest super wear-resistant material – nitrofuranto. Its main feature is the nonlinear elasticity, so engineers were able to abandon the conventional hydraulic suspension and saved so much space and weight. In particular, a tank for hydraulic and, accordingly, oil consumption were reduced by 30%.
The MAT is equipped with two reeving winches, which are able to operate in tap mode in the presence of the outer boom. To ensure stability in the tap mode, and to simplify maintenance (try replacing the wheel with a diameter of 1.8 meters at a 70-ton machine), the machine is equipped with hydraulic full-lift jacks. The winch shafts structurally integrated into the carrying frame of the tractor, ensuring reliable operation and safety.
The MAT is freely extensible platform. In the front of the machine removed oil seals for hydraulic connections, and at the rear of additional mechanical drive. The manufacturer offers as attachments huge blade and the outer jib-crane. Dozer will be especially useful in winter, as the performance of such a machine an order of magnitude greater than that of conventional snow removal equipment. Because the blade is completely beyond the operator's line of sight, the cabin is equipped with hydraulic lifting devices.
Needless to say, the cab operators meet the most modern standards of ergonomics. The touch pad, robotic CAT, review FullHD camera, sound insulation, climate control – everything is done for the best possible experience. Controls the main and auxiliary cabins are fully duplicated, so that the control can be done from any location.
Now, when I talked a bit about the original (photos, unfortunately, are not), you can go to my model. Scale 1:19, just under tech-figure. Accordingly, the following model dimensions: length without attachment – 76,5 cm, width (without/with mirrors) – 23/26 cm, height (without/with exhaust pipes) – 13/15 cm, weight – 4,45 kg. On creation took about a month and a half.
