本航空航天信息报告（AIR）分为两部分。第一部分简单概述了在确定车辆规格和设计特征时必须考虑的设计因素。第二部分详细介绍了飞机牵引车的性能特点。本文提供了一些定义、公式、数据和示例，主要用于帮助飞机牵引车潜在买家和用户的指定工程师评估和比较其要求与牵引车制造商提供的各种牵引车的性能能力。虽然设计工程师也可以在计算飞机牵引车的性能规格时使用公式和数据，但本AIR并不打算提供详细计算和设计飞机牵引车所需的方法和所有数据。

This Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is presented in two parts. This first part is simply a summarization of design factors that must be considered in establishing vehicle specifications and design characteristics. The second part refers particularly to the performance characteristics of an aircraft tow tractor. Some definitions, formulas, data, and an example are provided mainly for assisting the specifying engineers of potential buyers and users of aircraft tow tractors in the evaluation and comparison of their requirements with the performance capabilities of the various tow tractors offered by the tow tractor manufacturers. Although the design engineers could also use the formulas and data in their calculations of the performance specifications of aircraft tow tractors, this AIR is not intended to provide the methods and all data necessary for detailed calculations and design of an aircraft tow tractor.
