It would also be good if we can turn the plane at steeper angles (truck can become perpendicular to the plane)
Do they not use a rear tow for moving aircraft about?

There is a red line on the main landing gear door which shows the max turning angle for the bar. If you turn past this line you’ll break the sheer pins and damage the bar. This would be good to add to make pushback easier. Also to be able to pull the aircraft forward would be good too.
Washing that plane’s UUUU skin should be charged (pi x radius)/2 radius extra. Washing a plane is a pain.

Oh, didn’t see it was full ….forward/reverse … corrugation. Still a fair approximation of the surface lengthening, about x 3.14/2. 60% more work.
