Oct 27, 2016 at 14:49 comment added panda_the_great @jwenting I can somehow understand what you are trying to say. But your last words regarding docking adapters has set me thinking, looking into it. As per the discussion I had with above people who answered, I understood that they just press against the surface of an aircraft and to prevent the plane from damage use a rubber tubing around the joining interface. Nothing "hooking up" tech involved. But throwing straps is something I definitely do not want to do. Suction seal is I am reading up on it. Other methods Sanchises mentioned - magnetic is out. Electrostatic adhesion, hmmm.need to think
Oct 27, 2016 at 8:58 comment added Sanchises Please refrain from being rude - just because I try to keep my comments short does not mean I do not mean well. This answer does not answer the on-topic aviation question "How does the Aerobridge dock...?" On the other hand, this answer does not provide a good answer to the alternative (in my opinion off-topic) question either, "how two non-conformal surfaces can be "joined"", since there are other methods than throwing straps around something (most obviously, clamping; but also magnetic, electrostatic, simply 'pushing' together, etc).
Oct 27, 2016 at 8:34 comment added jwenting @sanchises it answers the actual question, and if you read what I say you notice I nowhere say they "hook up" but that they should to make what he wants work. Learn to read and comprehend English.
Oct 27, 2016 at 7:34 comment added Sanchises Jet bridges do not involve parts that 'hook up'. This answer then does not answer the question (well, ignoring the vague, off topic bit)
