tair cushions

 


at Aircraft recovery solutions, we specialize in the use of
low pressure air cushions
 to ensure the post accident damage is minimized.
 

 
 

Air Cushions have a wide variety of uses that include lifting,
pushing, and floating sunken objects.

 

 
     
  To help our customers understand the capability of aircushions, we have shown an example of a 60 inch wide 8 foot tall air cushion.  This cushion has a lifting surface area of 2,828 square inches.  If we were able to use the maximum air pressure of 7 PSI in the cushion, it would lift 19,796 pounds.

If you look at the photographs of the Falcon 20, you can see we placed four air cushions under the wing for a combined surface area of 79,184 square inches.  The airplane has an empty weight of approximately 16,600 pounds.  We lifted roughly half the aircraft's weight using only one tenth of a pound of air pressure in the bags.  This allowed us to move our hands and arms between the bag and the aircraft at any time.  This low pressure facilitated a damage free, controlled accent rate that ensured stability.
