Capable of serving any of todays commercial aircraft, Apron Drive bridges are determined by the measured length of the bridge from
the center of the rotunda to the end of the cap spacer at full retraction and full extension. The A3 68/141 model, for example is a three
tunnel Apron Drive measuring 67 1 at full retraction and 141 feet at full extension.
