DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF TOWING BAGGAGE OF ELECTRIC TRACTOR IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY

Abstract

The development of technology is currently growing very rapidly, one of which is in the automotive field, which is characterized by the large number of requests for the number of vehicles needed to support human daily activities. The current problem that is very worrying is the use of energy using natural fuels whose combustion is not perfect, which greatly affects the sustainability of life. Electrical energy is energy that can be renewed and is environmentally friendly. The use of electrical energy is expected to help reduce carbon emissions in the world, and this is the target of the SDGS (Sustainable Development Goals). One of them is the manufacture of the Electric Baggage Towing Tractor (e-BTT) at PTX (aviation industry). With the e-BTT, the author conducted research. So from this research, there is innovation in the e- BTT towing bracket section. The towing bracket, which is usually a hook during towing, is very crucial, and when there is damage to this part, the e-BTT cannot be used properly. Therefore, to reduce the maintenance period, the towing bracket is made into a separate part that uses bolts as fasteners.
