Aircraft Wheel Deflator

Kestrel Engineering Ltd is pleased to offer a universal aircraft wheel deflator kit which drastically reduces noise levels by more than 20 dBA when deflating aircraft wheels to a pre-set pressure, for example, prior to storage or shipment. The Auto-Deflat-Aer is easy to use. It contains a Relief Valve, Pressure Gauge and two threaded adapters which safely grip the outer threads of the aircraft wheel valve stem. One adapter (Model 1) is suitable for Large Bore Schrader wheel valves and the second (Model 2) is suitable for Standard Bore Schrader wheel valves. It also contains an integral sintered bronze Silencer to drastically reduce the noise level during the deflation process. The Auto-Deflat-Aer kit was designed and developed by Kestrel Engineering Ltd at the request of Singapore Airlines Engineering. The prototype was delivered for testing and evaluation in June 2016. For more information visit www.kestrelengineering.com.
