  • Eurocopter's EC175 Helicopter Confirms Its Position As
    Eurocopter’s EC175 helicopter confirms its position as leader in the medium-sized twin-engine helicopter market segment Marignane, France, December 12, 2012 Eurocopter has conducted the first flight of its no. 1 series-production EC175, and confirmed the excellent performance of this next-generation multi-role helicopter. The maiden flight occurred last week at Eurocopter’s Marignane, France headquarters facility, with company pilot Augustin Dupuis at the controls. “With this first production series aircraft now airborne, the EC175 helicopter is a reality, and Eurocopter is very pleased to bring this new product in its civil range to the market,” said Lutz Bertling, Eurocopter’s President & CEO. “This first flight is the occasion to confirm our objective – which was to develop, in cooperation with our industrial Chinese partner, AVIC – the safest and best medium-sized rotorcraft, which also is a leader in terms of competitiveness, power efficiency and comfort. Following the success of Eurocopter’s EC130 T2 and the EC145 T2, the EC175 is yet another example of our strategy to provide outstanding value to customers.” Eurocopter today announced performance figures that ensure the EC175’s competitive edge. Its recommended cruise speed is 150 kts. – 10 kts. faster than the previous figure without affecting payload range – while the maximum cruise speed exceeds 165 kts., all at extremely low vibration levels. Eurocopter’s program flight tests to date also have confirmed the EC175’s excellent power performance including: hover out of ground effect (HOGE) at maximum take-off weight at 4,500 ft. at ISA+20°C conditions; excellent one engine inoperative (OEI) hover performance, which ensures safety during hosting for search and rescue missions ; extensive power reserve and heli-deck performance (PC1) at maximum take-off weight in ISA+20°C conditions –available with application of the latest certified version of Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PT6C-67E engines.

  • An Assessment of the Use of Rotary Wing Aircraft for Primary And
    Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences (eISSN 2636-9346) ORIGINAL ARTICLE An Assessment of the Use of Rotary Wing Aircraft for Primary and Medical Emergency Care Service – Sabah State Experience Nelbon Bin Giloi1, Lim Jac Fang1, Mohammad Saffree Bin Jeffree1, Mohd Yusof Hj Ibrahim1, Constance Liew Sat Lin1, Simson Gunsalam2, Jennifer Lim Mei Ching1 1 Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia 2 Sabah State Health Department, Jalan Mat Salleh, 88590 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia ABSTRACT Introduction: Rotary wing aircraft (RWA) or the helicopter has been used in Primary Health Care and Medical Emergency Services in the state of Sabah since the seventies. The use of RWA has distinct advan- tages in terms of speed, ability to access remote areas and in the transportation of patients to tertiary care. Single engine RWA was used for the last forty years which has now been replaced with twin engine RWA. The objective of this study is to compare the different type of RWA which was used and the suitability of these machines for health services in Sabah. Methods: A detailed analysis and comparison of manufacturers’ specifications which include the performance, size, the number of power plant, passenger capacity, safety track record, aircraft manufacturer’ s support, maintenance and operational costs of different types of RWA available in Sabah taking into account current and future demands as well as functional requirements and the capability of the aircraft service providers were considered. Results: The choice of aircrafts depends on the type of service and its suitability. From the assessment, a single engine RWA would be adequate to support the current and future need in Sabah.
