The eJP-3 is Eagle’s smallest eco-friendly towbarless aircraft tug. Powered by a DC motor, the two-speed transaxle puts power to the ground without the use of chains, couplings, or belts. The built-in GPU assists with starting your aircraft, and the built-in battery charger facilitates a quick turnaround between flights. The ultimate electric tug for light aircraft, the eJP-3 is designed to safely and efficiently move piston aircraft up to light corporate jets in all weather conditions.
The Eagle eJP-3 Towbarless Aircraft Tug incorporates regenerative braking for controlled deceleration. This function prevents unnecessarily joining the aircraft, potentially damaging avionic equipment, and avoids excessive loading on the nose landing gear. The automatic parking brake always engages upon stopping to maintain overall safety during operation.
