A big idea in a small package
The distinguishing features
of the Mototok are its fully
electric drive, the extremely compact
footprint, its flexibility in operation
and its high performance.
In addition, the remote control
feature of the Mototok means
that the operator is able to move
anywhere around the aircraft to see
every vantage point. The operator’s
eyes never leave the aircraft.
The Mototok features powerful
electric motors driven by
maintenance-free batteries with
a high-cycling capability that are
regulated and controlled by two
microprocessors to provide massive
driving forces. Extremely high initial
torque ensures smooth acceleration,
particularly at the start. Storage
capacity is sufficient for lots of
operations, depending on workload.
The steering of a Mototok is
performed through the different
rotating speed of both processorcontrolled
wheel-hub motors. A turn
on the spot is no problem – one
motor rotates forwards, the other
backwards to carry out a precise
turning maneuver. The aircraft
remains almost immovable from its
location during the turn. Accidents
through collisions are practically
out of the question. In addition, no
transverse forces are exerted on
the nose gear, so that no damage
is caused to the bearings and other
gear-related components.
Docking takes a matter of
seconds from the rear or front of
the nose wheel. Simply drive the
Mototok up to the nose wheel, the
wheel is then hydraulically fixed
firmly in position and raised ready
for take-off. This operation occurs
without the use of an awkward strap
or inconvenient winch. No bolts or
tools are required.
Mototok is also suitable for use
in tight environments – in a hangar
corner, directly towards the hangar
wall or close to other aircraft. The
low height, compact design and
the radio remote control gives full
control of the hangar’s space.
