S-92 wheel layout
 
I’d appreciate it if anyone could help with the centre to centre spacing of the two wheels (tires) on one leg of the S-92 main gear. I have scanned the usual sources without success; currently I have guessed 250-300mm (10-12 inches) based on basic gear design principles. But I am doing a structural design of a heliport, and would appreciate a more accurate figure.

Thanks in advance.

Main landing gear tire centerline width: 1 ft 1.5 in. (0.34 m)

Reference: S92 Maintenance Manual, SA S92A-AMM-000, Chapter 6

For something as important as designing a heliport, might it not be a better idea to go directly to Sikorsky, rather than guessing and asking on internet forums?

Silvrado17, much obliged to you Sir.

My experience with the manufacturers is that they are unlikely to respond to any requests for information of that nature.
