TAHEL™ helipads are helicopter fast deployment landing zones. They have been offering safety for helicopter units on field (FOB, FARP, …) for decades. From Yugoslav wars in the 1990’s, through the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the ongoing Mali conflict, TAHEL™ helipads are on duty. Mobi-mat® developed the TAHEL™ helipad range in order to avoid the brown-out (and white-out) effect due to sand, dust or snow. They increase the pilots visibility and reduce the helicopter maintenance need.
Safety first
The specific Mobi-mat® 3D technical fabric structure of the TAHEL™ helipads assures the best safety for helicopter crews and ground support equipment teams. The wind permeability of the material allows the rotor wash to be evacuated through the helipad with no risk to blow up the mats. The liquids permeability avoids the water or oil puddles, and keep the area always anti-skid.
The TAHEL™ A2X helipad is the original helicopter landing mat developed by Mobi-mat®. It has been used for more than 20 years by the most demanding helicopter units. The TAHEL™ A2X offers durable landing zones for expeditionnay military forces. This lightweight helicopter landing mat is extremely durable and can face the heaviest helicopters like the CH-47 Chinook or the CH-53 Super Stallion. It allows also the heavy truck traffic for replenishment or medical evacuation, even on soft soils.
