Green Taxi, Inc.
Green Taxi can be utilized by a variety of different aircraft missions such as commercial, cargo, private and military. For both fixed and rotarywing aircraft operating in sandy or dusty environments such as the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia, engine damage caused by FOD/dirt ingestion on the ground can be a crippling maintenance burden, requiring high expenses, frequent overhauls and excessive fleet downtime, resulting in reduced operational readiness. By eliminating the need for engine-based taxiing, Green Taxi will eliminate engine ground FOD and dirt ingestion up to the takeoff point. Green Taxi also offers distinct tactical advantages in certain scenarios, including remote airfield operations, fast turnaround time requirements, and covert or subtle ground aircraft repositioning.
Green Taxi can allow aircraft to work and move quickly at remote airfields, reducing or eliminating the need for ground support personnel, vehicles, and allowing reliance on easily accessible pre-positioned fuel stocks.

MILITARY TRANSPORTS
Green Taxi, Inc.
Military transport aircraft operating in hostile environments are often parked close together to facilitate security requirements. Sometimes they are based in dusty or sandy areas where normal tug operations are not possible because of insufficient ground traction. This means that movement of aircraft requires the use of the main engines which can blast dirt, sand and rocks into the engine inlets of other aircraft parked close by reducing power plant life and requiring additional engine and parts inspections. Green Taxi is the perfect solution and will also allow for improved mission readiness.
About
The Green Taxi System reduces aircraft fuel consumption and carbon emissions during ground operations by allowing aircraft to taxi without using their main jet engines. Electric motors located on the landing gear wheels powered by the existing Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) allows the plane to move forward or backwards with normal steering and braking by the pilot. Green Taxi is a breakthrough innovation reducing carbon footprint emissions, reducing fuel use, increasing brake life, improving on-time performance and other saving direct and indirect aircraft ground operating costs.
With operating costs and environmental initiatives at the top of aircraft operators concerns, the Green Taxi System provides a viable solution to achieve lower cost and greener operations. By adopting this new and innovative aircraft system, operators can save several hundred thousand dollars per aircraft per year and improve their bottom line while reducing the environmental impact of airport ground operations.
Greener Operation – The electric Green Taxi system greatly reduces engine emissions, resulting in annual reduction of millions of tons of CO2, NOx emissions, lower carbon taxes and making significant progress in reaching “carbon neutral” corporate goals.
Lower Fuel Burn – Jet engines are very inefficient on the ground at taxi settings. Taxi operations burn a significant amount of fuel — millions of tons of fuel per year — the Green Taxi System can result in savings exceeding 4% of total block fuel consumption.
Improved On Time Performance – Aircraft equipped with the system will be able to “pushback and go” more quickly, reducing both gate and tarmac congestion, improving on-time departure performance and saving valuable time on the ground. The Green Taxi aircraft can taxi to the runway quietly for early morning departures and be first in line for takeoff.
Added Value – System operation eliminates the need for aircraft push back and towing via tug tractor while also reducing brake wear, extending main engine life, enhancing ground crew safety, and reducing noise in the airport environment.
The innovative Green Taxi system delivers significant environmental benefits and greatly improves aircraft operating efficiency.
