Professional pilot, mechanical engineer designed, aluminum/magnesium alloy hard case.
We offer our Paradox Professional 22" Flight Crew 2- Wheel Roll Aboard in two color collections:
The Dark Sky Collection is blacked out by hard anodizing the aluminum/magnesium alloy which not only gives the case its stealthy matte black hue, but protects the alloy from light scratches and weathering (some pictures might appear to show a gray color but they are definitely airline compliant black).
The Star Light Collection is in its natural aluminum/magnesium alloy color that is reminiscent of a bygone era of early aviation. It is protected with an anodized clear plating that protects the alloy from light scratches and weathering.
Decades of on the road experience have culminated in the very best flight crew-centric luggage available! We started simply, let no compromises into our design philosophy. We had very specific design requirements:
- Beautiful aluminum construction with bespoke looks.
- All compartments are fully secured behind TSA compliant locks, no zippers.
- No external fabric construction to get wet or torn or cut open.
- Protection from impact or crushing for the items inside.
- Easy access compartment for safety vests, flashlights, water bottles, hats or gloves.
- Light weight but immensely strong.
- Easy rolling on two custom made wheels with the highest quality bearings and tough solid billet aluminum wheel boxes.
- Soft landing rubber feet to cushion your bag when you set it down.
- Strength from sound engineering practices, use of CAD/CAM design and extensive stress testing. Structural parts made from billet aluminum, not plastic.
- Added corner protections from rough bag handlers, and baggage carousels.
- Protections from inclement weather, chemicals like glycol, and other materials.
- Multiple bag stacking options to make your loads easier to carry.
- Easy field serviceability.

Packing room of our 22" is slightly smaller inside than the competition's 22". However we are also fully compliant with international carry on standards externally which the competition is not.
This case is a true legal international "carry-on" and will fit all standard overhead bins.
Compression packing cubes are highly recommended to maximize your packing space! Our cubes can be found HERE.

OPTIONAL CUSTOMIZATION We offer laser etching to all our hard cases. Unlike a name tag that can be easily removed or lost, your case will forever be yours with laser etched ownership. You can add your name, rank, airline, or even a slogan or logo, the choice is yours. Etching the Dark Sky cases exposes the natural aluminum color under the black giving a nice contrast and good visibility. Etching the Star Light cases exposes the natural aluminum color under the matte anodized color providing subtle contrast and a clean look. If you want we can etch up to 4"/4". Opting for laser etching voids your ability to return the case due it's customization. To order etching please add it HERE as a separate item from the product page. We will reach out to you for your desired customization.
Take it for a test drive! You have 30 days to decide if this is the luggage for you. If during that time you dont feel this case will work for you, simply send the unused case back!
Every case is assembled by hand and while every attempt is made to avoid marks and slight blemishes, it is possible that during assembly your new case might show some handling marks and slight imperfections from its build.
Every case comes with an optional slip-on/off cover to reduce scrapes and scratches. It is secured with a velcro retainer. The case can be used normally with the slip cover in place with full use of the wheels and carry handles.
