TNA Aviation Technologies, a St. Augustine, Florida builder of aircraft tugs and towing devices, has released its latest product, the TowFlexx 120e HG. Designed for aircraft up to a midsize business jet (28,000 pounds of capacity) the electric towbarless tug enables a single person to easily move the aircraft. Its 24-volt, 1.8-kW (2.45-hp) motor is driven by a rechargeable lead-acid battery pack that can also be used as a ground power supply. It can typically operate two to three days on a single charge, according to TNA.
