Ultra-light, incredibly strong aircraft wheels designed for Electric Flight |
Two conflicting needs for electric flight wheels: they must be extremely lightweight, but they must also be strong because the heavy batteries in electric airplanes put great pressure on landing gear and wheels. "LYT" wheels are made of an unusual foam which is extremely light but which only compresses ten percent under a ten pound load. We know of no other lightweight wheels which can support a heavy electric airplane yet withstand the stress that a heavy airplane puts on them.
This is hands down the best wheel for electrics airplanes manufactured today (in my opinion). I have used this brand on a Brio 10 for 4 years. It is extremely light, the foam has just the right consistency, and the wheels look great. I like the rounded ends, especially. I tried other brands (e.g., DuBro, etc.) and the LYT wheels look just great and are lighter.
Only downside is that the hub is gray. I wish it offered an option for a white hub.
