Technical Performance
The FMS Rafale 64mm Wheel Set represents precision engineering applied to a critical landing gear component. At 64mm in diameter, these wheels are meticulously sized to match the Rafale's landing gear geometry, ensuring correct wheel track, proper weight distribution, and optimal ground handling characteristics. The wheels are manufactured to tight tolerances that guarantee consistent rolling resistance and smooth rotation during both takeoff and landing phases. This precision is essential for EDF jet operations, where smooth, controlled landings are paramount to protecting the airframe from impact damage. The wheel construction utilises durable materials engineered to withstand the repeated stresses of taxiing and landing operations whilst maintaining dimensional stability across many flying hours.
