Airglas fixed-wing products extend where your aircraft can go and how much it can carry once it gets there. Every part is built to hold up to the harshest conditions bush operators face.
Airglas rotorcraft skis are designed and carefully constructed for the most demanding Arctic service, with the dependability operators have relied on for decades.
Airglas skis provide soft-terrain support for military helicopters ranging from the OH-58 Kiowa to the CH-47 Chinook, engineered for penetration performance and hoist clearance in the field.
Airglas began in 1955 in Anchorage, Alaska, where founder Wes Landes started designing and building aircraft skis to solve the unique landing challenges of Alaska’s backcountry, glaciers, and soft terrain. From the outset, the goal has been to engineer the most rugged, dependable landing systems in the industry using innovation and world-class expertise to design skis used for landing in deep snow, on glaciers, oil platforms, and on soft sand or marsh. Airglas maintains this philosophy on a daily basis, providing fixed wing, helicopter, and military operators with landing gear and cargo/fuel pods built for the most demanding environments on Earth.
