Airport Ground Support parts lists

BOMwiki maps 21 airport ground support products, each exploded into a recursive bill of materials: 1,868 parts in total, down to individual fasteners and cells. The largest is the airport pushback tractor at 250 parts across 11 top-level assemblies; the simplest is the ground power unit at 33. Across the domain the same components recur: alloy wheel, lug nut, tire and TPMS sensor appear in most of these machines, and each is a single shared page here, so a correction to one fixes every product that uses it. Open any product for its parts diagram, the function of each part, and the full bill of materials.
