AW119 Skidtube with Wearpads, Float Compatible – LH
We believe that conventional skidtubes are under-designed for the types of landings most helicopters encounter. Conventional skidtubes are ill-equipped to face the critical loading conditions encountered when landing on uneven ground. Under these conditions, simple round tubes tend to puncture, dent and bend because they cannot maintain their shape. DART Aerospace’s revolutionary patented Round-I-Beam™ technology combines the conventional round tube with the strength of the I-beam made from 6061-T6 aluminum. In DART Aerospace skidtubes, the central I-beam web absorbs most of the impact on landing so the tube maintains its integrity. Even with the addition of a central web, the weight is comparable to that of conventional skidtubes. The Float Skidtube for the AW119/AW119MKll is a one-piece integrated design that eliminates the need for any float extensions and is pre-drilled for float compatibility. Comes standard with nine wearpads and gaskets; no messy sealant.

*Comes complete with saddles & 9 stainless steel wearpads & gaskets. Pre-drilled for DART (Apical) Tri-Bag Floats. Compatible on OEM crosstubes. Compatible with OEM ground handling wheels.
