IAI's TaxiBot to Be Deployed at Indian Airports

(Globes) Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has entered an agreement with KSU of India for operating TaxiBot vehicles at New Delhi and Mumbai airports. TaxiBot is a semi-robotic vehicle which is controlled by the pilot to taxi the airplane from the terminal to the runway with no use of the aircraft's main engines. TaxiBot saves 85% of the fuel consumed during standard taxiing and reduces noise levels and pollution. Moreover, it reduces foreign object damage by 50%, as foreign objects can't be sucked into the aircraft engines if they are not running.
