Pivoting arms and a vertical control lever lift aircraft skids onto wheels without removing side platforms or steps.
Elastomeric mounts and compliant landing legs absorb VTOL impact energy, protecting UAV structure without heavy reinforcement.
Vertical tension-bolt attachments replace lateral shear-bolt joints in rotorcraft skid gear, simplifying maintenance while preserving load transfer.
Vertical tension bolts and pressure plates transfer cross-tube loads into rotorcraft skids with fewer parts, easier maintenance, and less corrosion.
