NGSE Announces Demonstration Plan for Fully Automated Battery-Powered Aircraft-Washing Robots at EU Airports
Sweden’s Nordic Ground Support Equipment AB will conduct demonstrations of what it calls the world’s first fully automated battery-powered aircraft-washing robot at multiple EU airports.
What happened
According to a CORDIS project summary dated Aug. 11, 2022, Nordic Ground Support Equipment AB is advancing a plan to deploy five to 10 demonstration units of what it calls the world’s first fully automated battery-powered aircraft-washing robot at three to five EU airports. The company says the robots can reduce washing time by about 40% to 60% and water and chemical use by about 20% to 30%.
Why it matters
For airport operators that spend time and resources washing aircraft, the plan will test under what indoor and outdoor operating conditions fully automated battery-powered robots can be used. The company says the robots can cut washing time by about 40% to 60% and water and chemical use by about 20% to 30% compared with current methods.
