Helicopter with wheels
Many Western helicopters are equipped with wheels (wheeled landing gear), especially those designed for heavy loads, VIP transport, or military operations. Unlike helicopters with skids, wheels allow for easier rolling on the ground, particularly on paved surfaces such as taxiways or hangars.
🛩️ Western helicopters with wheeled landing gear
Military helicopters:
Boeing CH-47 Chinook – Heavy transport helicopter with four non-retractable wheels.
Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion / CH-53K King Stallion – Heavy-duty transport helicopter with robust wheeled undercarriage.
Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk – Medium multi-purpose helicopter with retractable landing gear.
Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey – Tiltrotor aircraft with retractable wheeled landing gear.
Civilian and VIP helicopters:
Sikorsky S-76 – Luxury and VIP transport helicopter with retractable landing gear.
Leonardo AW139 – Medium-sized multi-purpose helicopter with retractable landing gear.
Bell 429 WLG – Light multi-purpose helicopter with wheeled landing gear, suitable for VIP transport.
Airbus H155 (formerly Eurocopter EC155) – luxury and transport helicopter with retractable landing gear.
Special and rescue helicopters:
Airbus AS365 Dauphin – rescue and offshore helicopter with wheeled landing gear.
Leonardo AW109 – Light multi-purpose helicopter with retractable landing gear.
🛠️ Advantages of wheeled landing gear on helicopters
Ground mobility: Enables easy rolling on taxiways and in hangars.
Higher speed: Retractable wheels reduce air resistance and increase travel speed.
Heavy-duty capability: Better suited for heavy helicopters and large payloads.
These helicopters are frequently used in areas such as military, VIP transport, offshore operations, and rescue services, where the advantages of a wheeled landing gear are particularly evident. They all require suitable wheel chocks .
