Two of the most often-reported frustrations about air travel with a disability are delays in receiving wheelchair assistance and damage to personal wheelchairs.
Italian designer and inventor Andrea Mocellin hopes to remove those pain points with his latest invention, a new wheelchair called Revolve Air. What sets the Revolve Air apart from other manual wheelchairs is its small size and portability – the chair’s folding wheels allow it to collapse into a small form factor that can be stowed in an airplane’s overhead bin.
The chair has the same 24-inch wheels as most manual wheelchairs, meaning that it can still propelled easily by the user, but the innovative design allows the chair to be condensed down into a size that is 60% more space-saving than other folding wheelchairs on the market.
Revolve Air was the winner of the Audience Award at TravelAbility’s LaunchPad held on April 1, 2021. To learn more about the Revolve Air wheelchair, see this article from NewzHook.
