Stewart & Stevenson GT-16/28
High-torque launch for the GT-16/28 pushback tractor — controlled, precise aircraft handling with zero tailpipe.
- 2× Actium Duo + drive units
- Axle-integration hardware
- HV harness & distribution
- VCU with CAN integration
- Replacement instrument cluster
Pushing an aircraft is a torque problem, not a power one. The tractor has to break a very large mass out of standstill smoothly enough that nothing in the nose gear notices, then hold a walking pace. Switched reluctance produces its torque from zero speed, which is exactly the shape of that duty.
This kit uses two Actium Duo units — four stacks in total, 240 kW peak between them — with axle-integration hardware, HV harness and distribution, and a VCU on the vehicle CAN bus.
Electric drive also changes what the operator hears. A pushback runs metres from the aircraft and from the crew working around it, and removing the engine removes the noise floor they have been shouting over.
