Announces Updates At HAI Heli-Expo
Enstrom Helicopter
Corp., in cooperation with LifePort, Inc., has added medical
evacuation capabilities as an affordable option to the Enstrom 480B
helicopter. The Enstrom 480B can be used for air ambulance missions
with the inclusion of the LifePort, Inc. pivoting MedDeck. This
enhancement was announced at the HAI Expo held in Las Vegas
(NV).
"This further expands our capabilities for the 480B turbine
model," said William Taylor, director of engineering. "It's one
more option for our broad range of uses for the 480B."
Certification is expected later in 2004. This medically equipped
480B will allow operators the lowest acquisition cost and direct
operating cost for medical work.
The removable kit installs in the seat tracks without any
modifications to the helicopter's floor and without the use of any
tools. Once the attachment plate is secured, the pivoting MedDeck
is installed in seconds and the aircraft is Medevac capable.
The patient is loaded into the aircraft by releasing a single
handle latch to unlock the MedDeck. The patient can then be moved
forward/aft and laterally at the same time to allow for smooth
transition in and out of the aircraft without any lifting. The
entire MedDeck can be removed from the aircraft in minutes, and the
aircraft can be reconfigured to fly other missions making it a true
multi-mission platform.
This is the latest development in Enstrom's ongoing product
improvement program to enhance its turbine model.
