Abstract: Coupling devices for different landing gears of aircraft are disclosed. In one embodiment, a coupling device for coupling to a landing gear of an aircraft may include a first landing gear adapter that is designed for coupling to a landing gear of an aircraft of a first type. A second landing gear adapter that is designed for coupling to a landing gear of an aircraft of a second type is provided. The second type is different from the first type. A change device is coupled to the first and second landing gear adapters and designed such that optionally the first or the second landing gear adapter can be positioned in an operating position, or location of the coupling device, suitable for coupling to the landing gear. A plurality of second landing gear adapters may be provided and may one at a time be moved into the operating position in a pivoting manner.

Abstract: The invention makes it possible to carry out towing processes for ground movements of aircraft of various types more efficiently. For this purpose, a coupling device was invented for coupling to a landing gear of an aircraft. The coupling device comprises a first landing gear adapter (60A), which is designed for coupling to a landing gear of an aircraft of a first type. A second landing gear adapter (60B, . . . , 60F) is provided, which is designed for coupling to a landing gear of an aircraft of a second type. The second type is different from the first type. A change device (30) is coupled to the first and second landing gear adapters (60A, 60B) and designed such that optionally the first (60A) or the second landing gear adapter (60B, . . . , 60F) can be positioned in an operating position, or location (61) of the coupling device, suitable for coupling to the landing gear. Preferably a plurality of second landing gear adapters (60B, . . .
