Infinity Tugs
DiscoveryElectric aircraft tug for single engine aircraft
Overview
DISCOVERY is the versatile mid-size machine in our range: a hand-steered electric aircraft tug for single engine aircraft such as the Cirrus SR22. It tows up to 2,500 kg on straight ground, stores at just 120 cm long and extends to 210 cm for towing. The control panel keeps operation simple — one gear, forward and reverse — while the manual winch and leather-protected attachment webbing secure the nose wheel to the glass-fiber deck. On grass or asphalt, one pilot moves the airplane alone, with no pushing on struts or prop and no waiting for help.
Compatible Aircraft
Compatible with single-engine piston aircraft such as the Cirrus SR22 and similar types up to 2,500 kg.
Use Cases
DISCOVERY is made for the owner of a single like a Cirrus SR22, SR20 or comparable piston aircraft who is tired of pushing on the strut or waiting for a second person before every move. The daily routine it's built for: pull the airplane out of the hangar for a morning flight, reposition it on the apron for fuel or a wash, and steer it back into a tight hangar row at night — one pilot, no help. It folds from 210 cm down to 120 cm, so it stows against a hangar wall or in the baggage area between moves, and it works the same on a grass strip as on paved ramp.
How It Compares
Against pushing the airplane by hand, DISCOVERY removes the strain and the risk of a scuffed prop or a slipped grip — the manual winch takes the nose wheel and the electric drive does the pulling, with precise control on ramps and thresholds where muscle gets unpredictable. Against a heavier tug like GRAVITY or a remote-controlled ROVER, it's the lighter, simpler and more affordable choice for aircraft up to 2,500 kg: one gear, forward and reverse, nothing to learn. And unlike a shared airport tug, it lives in your hangar and is always there when you want to fly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What aircraft can DISCOVERY tow?
- Single-engine piston aircraft up to 2,500 kg on straight ground, such as the Cirrus SR22 and similar types. For heavier turboprops or light jets, GRAVITY is the right machine.
- Can one person operate it?
- Yes. The manual winch loads the nose wheel onto the glass-fiber deck and the electric drive moves the airplane, so a single pilot tows with no pushing on the strut or prop.
- How compact is it for storage?
- It extends to 210 cm for towing and folds to just 120 cm for storage, and at 120 kg it's easy to move against a hangar wall between flights.
