Analysis of Wide-body Aircraft Ground Handling Process

U radu su navedene karakteristike i specifičnosti širokotrupnih zrakoplova te su opisane njihove prednosti i nedostatci. Podrobno su opisani zrakoplovi Boeing 777, Boeing 747 i Airbus 380. Spomenute su vrste motora korištene kod navedenih zrakoplova, kapacitet putnika, maksimalni dolet i maksimalna brzina te brzina krstarenja. Objašnjen je pravilan način izvođenja procesa prihvata i otpreme širokotrupnog zrakoplova. Detaljno je opisan svaki segment procesa. Prikazane su vrste i karakteristike opreme korištene u procesu prihvata i otpreme zrakoplova. Podrobnije su opisane mobilna i fiksna oprema te je navedena usporedba istih na temelju prihvata širokotrupnog zrakoplova. U radu su navedene specifičnosti prihvata i otpreme zrakoplova B777 na Zračnoj luci Franjo Tuđman, kao i primjeri opreme koja se koristi te opis samog procesa.The paper presents the characteristics and specifics of wide - body aircraft and describes their advantages and disadvantages.
