Full Description:

NASA-developed aerospace computerized structural-analysis techniques and aerospace composite materials have resulted in an advanced wheelchair that weighs only 25 pounds. With only half the weight of a normal wheelchair, this advanced wheelchair is as strong and durable as a 50-pound stainless steel wheelchair yet can be easily collapsed forauto stowage. Its features include a seat, wheelguards, dynamic brakes, shaped hand rims, and a footrest with smooth contours to aid in opening doors.
