VEHICLE WITH SPRAY ASSIST SYSTEM
A vehicle can include a chassis. The vehicle can include a body that can be supported by the chassis. The vehicle can include a tractive assembly. The vehicle can include a sprayer assembly that can apply a de-icing liquid to an airplane. The vehicle can include one or more sensors that can acquire data regarding an area of the airplane. The vehicle can include a display device. The vehicle can include a controller. The controller can determine a position of the sprayer assembly relative to the area of the airplane. The controller can cause the display device of the vehicle to present a user interface that includes a graphical representation of where the sprayer assembly will spray the de-icing liquid based on the position of the sprayer assembly relative to the area of the airplane.
DE-ICE CLEANER FOR AIRCRAFT
A de-ice cleaner installed in front of landing gears of a vehicle such as an aircraft. The de-ice cleaner includes a retractable gun which uses high pressure of hot water against ice or snow on a runway, making a path in front of tires of the landing gears of the aircraft clear of snow or ice to prevent the aircraft from sliding and/or skidding off the runway. The de-ice cleaner has a flight plan setting provided for a particular destination, such as season and weather conditions of the runway. Once armed, the de-ice cleaner will turn on a heater during the landing procedure. Moments before touchdown on the ground, the retractable gun moves down from a cylinder and starts to apply a high-pressure jet of hot water or other liquid with the nozzles pointed directly at the path in front of the tires, allowing the tires to maintain a higher condition friction surface with the runway.
