Flight Structures in the news......
FSL feature in June 2020 edition of NZ Aviation News.
NZ Aviation News featured the Flight Structures rear cabin fitout of the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust’s Leonardo AW169 in their June 2020 issue. Thanks to John King for the great photography, and to Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust for their assistance in putting this article together.
Video Footage of Westpac Rescue Aero Medical Fitout
Flight Structures have developed a full aero medical installation for Westpac Rescue Auckland. The kit is in use on both their AW169 aircraft. Included in the footage is the RULS Stretcher Loading System, the THRULS Hospital Rotorcraft Trolley, a Stretcher Bridge System, Oxygen System and Storage Racks. The RULS and Oxygen System both have CAANZ STC.
We thank Westpac Rescue Auckland for allowing the footage to be taken. The RULS is a zero lift system where the stretcher is in a longitudinal position during flight to enable the best patient care, and rotates to transverse for loading from a stretcher trolley.
Thanks to Daniel Greenwood of Avocado Media for capturing the footage at Auckland Hospital and Ardmore Airport. Here is a link to Daniel’s details.
Trolley developed for AW169 Medical Fitout
Flight Structures has developed a trolley to work with the RULS (Rotorcraft Utility Loading System). The trolley can be transported in the locker of the aircraft so it is available wherever and whenever needed. The trolley can take a patient or an incubator and allows smooth zero lift loading. We have named the trolley the THRULS (Trolley for Hospital Rotorcrat Utility Loading System).
As seen below the THRULS is designed to integrate with the Lifeport Stretcher.
