A portable aircraft moving device comprising a portable electric drill containing a drive shaft extending from the drill output shaft to a worm gear reducer having an output shaft connected to a drive wheel that is mounted temporarily to the front wheel of an airplane above the airplane wheel, the drive shaft located inside a straight hollow support tube attached between the drill and the gear reducer, so that by actuating the trigger on the drill, causes the drive shaft to be turned and produce, through the gear reducer, rotation of the drive wheel on an axis parallel to the axis of the airplane\s wheel. Pivotal means are employed to allow the drive wheel to be rotated into contact with the airplane wheel, by lowering the drill, to impart rotation to the airplane\s wheel and movement to the airplane.

A portable aircraft moving device comprising: (a) a portable electric drill including a rotating output shaft and shaft end powered by an electric motor housed in a covering body and mounted on a piston grip-shaped handle containing a finger-actuated switch to activate the drill motor; (b) first means for powering said drill; (c) an elongated tube of terminal length having spaced-apart first and second ends wherein said first tube end is attached to said hand drill to support it rigidly on said tube; (d) an elongated drive shaft of terminal length having spaced-apart first and second ends wherein said shaft is attached at said first end to said drill output shaft for rotation therewith in response to actuation of the drill motor; (e) second means attached to said elongated tube and said drive shaft for reducing the rotary speed of said drive shaft and directing the input rotation thereof to an output rotation at an angle thereto; (f) an axle attached to said second means having an axis of rotation substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the front wheel of the aircraft; (g) a drive wheel mounted on said axle for rotation therewith; and, (h) pivotal means for temporarily attaching said device to the aircraft such that said drive wheel is in close tangential contact with the front wheel of the aircraft and said drill is cantilevered out in front of the aircraft is at an acute angle with the surface over which the aircraft is to be moved so that by raising said drill said device is pivoted upward and by lowering said drill said device is pivoted downward and said drive wheel is brought into contact with the front wheel for moving the aircraft when said drill switch is actuated; (i) wherein said connection between said first end of said drive shaft and said drill output shaft comprises: (i) a washer-shaped insert having a threaded circumference for mutual engagement with threads formed on the inside wall of said first tube end; (ii) said insert having formed therein a smoothbore central aperture for receipt therethrough of the threaded shaft of a bolt whose bolt head is positioned on the opposite side of said insert from said drill forward shaft end; (iii) the threads of said bolt shaft being in the opposite direction from the threads of said threaded insert circumference and said tube wall threads; and wherein matching threads are formed about said drill forward shaft end for receipt thereover of said threaded portion of said first tube end and a separate thread reinforcing coil inserted between said matching threads and said threads of said first tube end for locking therebetween; and, (iv) a central bore formed in said forward shaft end and threaded in the same direction and diameter as said bolt shaft for threaded receipt therein to lock said tube end into rigid connection with said output shaft.
