The invention is related to a improve ground operation safety and reducing ToT (turn around time) for aircraft using new jacking mechanism 1. During covid time, many aircrafts are grounded and current airport infrastructure is not adequate to provide hangers for all aircrafts to park for maintenance operations 2. Airlines are forced to use heavy ballast or mooring to ensure aircraft stability under high wind conditions 3. This innovation will help to improve ground stability and allow airlines to have more parallel ground operation to reduce ToT and safe long term parking without heavy ballast 4. When aircraft is on wheel, friction between wheel and ground provides necessary balancing force to counter yawing forces created by wind 5. Another possibility to increase stability is aircraft mooring but for most aircraft mooring point is on landing gear and while attaching mooring device to aircraft it is normally passed through systems, which can cause damage to the system 6. Also for specific configuration, where aircraft is on jacks and landing gears are removed today we don't have possibility of mooring.
