The Whirlwind wheelchair is a wheelchair designed to be made in developing countries with local resources.

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.[1]

Whirlwind Wheelchair International uses the principle of open source design [2] and offers construction classes and consulting services.
