Description

For as long as helicopters have been in operation, soft terrain landings have created balancing problems during takeoff and landings. DART Aerospace Bearpaws are constructed of a high density polymer, not plywood, aluminum or composite; this polymer resists cracking, chipping and breaking. The one-piece machined construction ensures consistent and deliberate load transfer. This flexible material deflects under high-point contact loads when landing on rocks or roots; its inherent memory ensures the Bearpaws return to their original shape upon take off. *19" footprint. Compatible with DART (Apical) floats. Compatible with Aerazur floats (requires DSI 9506-011). Price is per aircraft.

Key Features

  • Flat top surface (no machined pockets)
  • Wearplates also available
  • CNC machined UHMW polymer provides consistent load transfer

Key Benefits

  • No modifications to skidtube required
  • More durable than steel or fiberglass skis
  • High strength polymer with memory, deflects under critical point loading without failure and returns to original shape when unloaded
  • Keeps tail high in soft terrain to prevent tail strikes
  • Lightweight
  • Easy to install
  • Won't chip, crack or break
  • Float compatible
  • Compatible on DART and OEM Skidtubes
