The Whirlwind wheelchair is a wheelchair designed to be made in developing countries using local resources, in a sustainable development effort.
It was co-designed by Ralf Hotchkiss of Whirlwind Wheelchair International. Hotchkiss, a paraplegic, has traveled extensively, designing wheelchairs that could be built in developing countries.
Whirlwind Wheelchair International uses the principle of open source design,[1] and offers construction classes and consulting services.
