AirChair
On-board Aircraft Wheelchair

The Mercury AirChair is an on-board aircraft wheelchair (or Transit Chair) designed to transfer passengers, unable to walk, to their seats in an aircraft. Aisles in aircraft vary from 15" (380mm) to 17" (432mm) wide and conventional wheelchairs are too wide to pass through. Therefore passengers arriving at the aircraft in a conventional wheelchair are transferred to the aircraft wheelchair for the short journey to their seat.

One important feature of the wheelchair design is that the back folds down to the rear allowing the carer to move closer to the occupant for a safer transfer to the aircraft seat.

This aircraft wheelchair is light at only 6.5 kgs and folds to a compact size for stowage.

The Mercury AirChair has recently been updated to a carrying capacity of over 170 kgs (375 lb) for a chair weight of 6.5 kgs ( 14.3 lb).

Test loads reached 220 kgs (484 lb) without any permanent deflection or failure. The AirChair is now offered with customers' colours and logos.

 

Built with reference to DPTAC guidelines, EU Regulation 1107/2006 and US DoT 14 CFR 382
