Wheel chocks are one of those items flight crews don’t think much about, at least until Switzerland-based Alpha Chocks (Booth C7519) came on the scene. The three-year-old company offers collapsible wheel chocks in three sizes, for aircraft ranging from light pistons to large business jets and commercial transports, and is now offering ones made with carbon fiber.
