1) The document discusses developing solutions to move aircraft trolleys over steps or ramps using human power only. It aims to improve efficiency of aircraft cabin operations. 2) The research objectives are to identify challenges of moving trolleys on non-flat floors, develop solutions to do so with minimal effort increase, create CAD models to analyze effort required, and verify solutions using a demonstrator. 3) The methodology includes literature review, problem definition, building a demonstrator, dynamic analysis using CAD models, developing new solutions, and optimizing the design based on comparing analytical and experimental results.
