Easy Wheels for Helicopters
From frustration to innovation: wheel systems by a pilot, for a pilot.Flying Frustration
Aviation is all about precision. But on the ground? That’s where helicopter Ground Handling Wheels fell short — both literally and figuratively. From difficult maneuverability and flat tires to bent axles, broken handles, and failing ball bearings, standard solutions proved disappointing. Not to mention the hassle of bringing these bulky systems on board during a flight. Things had to change. Significantly.
From Cockpit to Workbench
A former helicopter pilot — with a technical background and a solid dose of determination — decided to take matters into his own hands. His mission? To design wheel systems that are as reliable as the aircraft itself. Lightweight, ultra-strong, compact, and easy to transport. And of course: no compromise on performance. Or style.
The existing wheel system was completely reimagined. Not a patch-up job, but a full redesign — down to the bearing level.
The Challenge:
To develop a wheel system that is...
- Operable without pneumatic tires — meaning: no more flats
- Strong yet lightweight — no more dragging, no more breakage
- Compact enough to fit inside the helicopter
- Ergonomic and robust — no more broken handles or axles
- Stylish and distinctive — because looks matter too
