For as long as helicopters have been in operation soft terrain landings have created problems for pilots. Without Bearpaws, helicopters experience balancing problems when landing or taking off in soft terrain such as tundra, snow, or sand.
DART Bearpaws are constructed of a high density polymer, that resists cracking, chipping and breaking. The one-piece machined construction ensures consistent and deliberate load transfer. The material is also flexible, so it can deflect under high-point contact loads when landing on rocks or roots, and DART Bearpaws have an inherent memory so they return to their original shape upon take off.
“DART continues to expand both the models and the markets of their Bearpaws by designing more configurations and obtaining more approvals. We are pleased to now be able to offer this useful product to the European market.” Quote Bill Beckett, General Manager, DART Aerospace Ltd.
