This paper is an outstanding idea that is going to change the traditional way of pushing back an airplane off the gate. However, this operation has many this advantages such as, the operation cost/ flights, increasing fuel consumption, increasing the engine flight hours, damaging the aircraft by the tug, and more. Electric Green Taxing System (EGTS) is going to add many advantages to the airline companies who seek every small idea to reduce the operational cost, and some of these advantages of this study are; reduced fuel consumption, reduced gas emission fees, reduced Foreign Object Damage (FOD), reduced ground operation time, reduced aircraft repositioning fees, and Safety development by reducing the engine ingestion/ jet blast. In addition to that, the rear view camera, alarms and sensor are going to assist the rear interpretation for the pilot and to improve the ramp safety since the ramp full of ground support vehicles. The method is going to benefit the aviation industry by reducing to ground time too.
