Theron Aerospace Turbine – Invention 10
Our current project, LGAT, is listed below, namely Landing Gear Aircraft Turbines. (LGAT)
- The commercial, private and military aircraft industries around the world are ever growing.
- Aircraft Tires Market is now in 2020 worth 37 Billion USD.
- A Boeing 777 uses 14 tires, Airbus’ A380 carries 22 tires, Lockheed C-5 Galaxy has 28 tires, and the enormous Antonov An-225 demands 32 tires.
- Airplane tires are made by Michelin, Goodyear and Bridgestone. A Boeing 737 main (front) tire, of which there are four per aircraft, costs around $1,600 each per tire. Manufacturers can re-tread these tires up to three or four times to extend their lifetime.
- Some recapped tires will last for up to 100 landings, while others will last far less than that, but maintenance personnel and flight crews continually inspect tires for damage or wear.
- Commercial aircraft cruise speed is between 500-600 mph and their landing speed is around 160-180 mph.
- When the pilot comes in for a landing and lowers the landing gear, all tires will speed up to the current speed of the plane due to the fact that our turbines are wind-driven.
- When the plane lands, the tires are rotating the same speed as the plane. Therefore, there will NOT be any serious chafing or damage to the tires as indicated in the pictures below.
- Think of the Theron Turbine as if it is a hubcap that can easily be added to the rim of an aircraft tire. This turbine or hubcap will extend aircraft tires by a factor of at least ten times, saving airlines billions of dollars per year.
Southwest Airlines, for example, usually changes tires every five to six weeks, and in the past year, it has used nearly 40,000 of them, an airline spokesman tells Condé Nast Traveler. That’s a lot of rubber, so airlines and suppliers are constantly thinking about how they can be more sustainable and less wasteful. This usually means retreading the tires as many times as possible—JetBlue, for its part, says it can retool and reuse a tire seven times before it is no longer viable.
But let’s back up. Many airlines, including Southwest, American, JetBlue, and Frontier, do not own their tires. Instead, they have contracts with companies like Goodyear, which allow them to use, reuse, and then return the tires. “They [Goodyear] actually own them and they guarantee so many landings and takeoffs per tire,” Frontier Airlines spokesman Jim Faulkner says.
American, which changes tires on each plane every 60 to 90 days, says roughly two million pounds of its tires get recycled every year, with some ending up as rubber mulch for playgrounds and sports fields. At its facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the airline takes the process one step further by recycling the water it uses for cleaning wheels and brakes.
Most people don’t realize that the average cruising speed of a commercial airliner like a 737 is nearly 600 miles per hour. And when they land, the airplane is traveling at 180 miles per hour on average.
Airliners spend annually over $1,8 billion on replacing tires that get damaged on landings. We have invented a turbine that can prevent this expense to a large extend.

Below are samples of turbines we have been working with and testing. Not all aircraft fly at the same speed and not all aircraft can fit a high profile turbine. And some of our turbines will also fill a dual role, namely to wind cool the red hot brake disks for heavy airplanes like military or cargo planes.
How important are good tires on an aircraft? Below is the famous Concord Supersonic public transportation plane of which 20 Concorde aircraft were built, six for development and 14 for commercial service. All of these, except two of the production aircraft, are preserved. One aircraft was scrapped in 1994, and another was destroyed in the Air France Flight 4590 crash in 2000. Concorde was retired from service in 2003 and no longer flies.
Below is a $2 Billion US airforce B2 Bomber plane. If the tires blow on it when it lands, that would be the costliest tire malfunction in human history. Each B2 bomber has a taxpayer price tag of $2,000,000,000
To add only 6 Theron Turbines (at a total cost of $15,600) to the rims of these bombers would only be smart and preserve it’s longevity in service.
So please consider investing now.
We need $5 million as startup capital.

Theron Aerospace Corporation is considering the following 4 business options:
- Sell our turbines directly to the airlines. They are the ones landing up with all the expenses and destroying tires every year. There are over 28,674 commercial airplanes globally. Typically we would have annual plans with each airline. So, in summary, commercial airliners typically have between 6 to 22 wheels. If we manufacture turbines at an average of 16 tires per plane per year, that equates to manufacturing 458,784 turbines per year at $2,500 per turbine. That is a gross revenue of around $1,146,960,000 annually.
- Or sell our turbines directly to the tire manufacturers. There are basically 10 top aircraft tire manufacturers worldwide and implement an annual supply chain plan with each manufacturer.
-
- Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company
- Bridgestone Corporation
- Dunlop Aircraft Tyres LTD
- Specialty Tires of America
- Michelin
- Qingdao Sentury Tires Company Limited
- Wilkerson Aircraft Tires
- Petlas Tire Corporation
- Aviation Tires and Treads LLC
- Desser Tire & Rubber Co. LLC.
-
- Or sell our turbines directly to the two main aircraft manufacturers namely Boeing and Airbus. Have an annual supply and replacement plan with them.
- Or lastly, sell the entire turbine invention directly to the tire manufacturers. They would buy it, just to prevent us from destroying their annual revenue. This would be a one-time payout/payoff. Pending investors’ approval, we forensically calculated asking $5 Billion. ($500 million per tire manufacturer).
