Wire Strike Protection System (WSPS)

Protects helicopters in the event of flight into horizontally strung mechanical, electrical transmission and communication wires/cables. Designed to reduce the possibility of wires entering into the cockpit area, reduces the possibility of flight control damage during a wire strike and decreases the possibility of wires becoming entangled in landing gear.

Skid Gear Kits & Components

Replaces high and low skid gear and component needs for Bell light and medium helicopters. Individual Skid Gear Kits and components are now available for Bell 205, 206, 212, 407, 412, UH-1H, OH-58.

Carbide Technology Skid Shoes

Tungsten Carbide Pads are bound to the bottom of new or existing helicopter skid shoes, through a patented process, which can repair shoes or extend their life – saving customer's money.

Ground Handling Equipment

Hydraulic and Mechanical Ground Handling Wheels

Designed to make the repositioning of helicopters an easier task, the dual wheels reduce twisting and strain on skid tubes. These wheels also provide equal pressure on both sides of tubes while raising and lowering aircraft.

Towing Systems

Designed for a one-man operation, these towing systems are simple to use and do not interfere with equipment mounted under helicopters. The caster wheel assembly can be used separate from the tow bar. The tow bar can also be attached to most towing vehicles.

Inlet Barrier Filtration Systems by Aerospace Filtration Systems

Designed to filter out more than 99 percent of dirt and sand that can wreak havoc on helicopter engines. This is an easily installed, single-filter system and contributes to reduced maintenance costs and down time.

External Rescue Hoist Kits

Designed for maximum safety, utility and ease of installation/operation. The Breeze Eastern or Goodrich hoist kits for the Bell 205, 206A, B and L Series, 212, 407, 412 and UH-1H helicopters can be easily adjusted for generous cable/skid tube clearance for low and high skid gear configurations.

New 212 BHVM System

The new 212 BHVM system provides drive train health and engine monitoring to improve aircraft serviceability and maintainability between regularly scheduled inspections and overhaul periods. Early detection of defects can help avoid disruptions to operations, which translates into significant cost savings, and can greatly enhance the safety and feeling of security for aircraft crew and passengers.

BHVM enhanced diagnostics facilitate vibration related maintenance functions and allow maintenance personnel to detect faults within the main rotor system, tail rotor drive system, engine accessory gearbox, and combining gearbox. The system offers a balance of performance and cost, while complying with the stringent Offshore Gas Producer (OGP) requirements.
