The launch of China’s first nationwide air ambulance service by Leonardo Helicopters’ Shanghai-based partner will boost sales of the Italian manufacturer partner for the next several years. Shanghai Kingwing General Aviation Co. has taken delivery of 25 air ambulance AW119Kx made by Leonardo Helicopters and is working with hospitals and insurance companies to bring them into operation. The vision is to have two or three emergency medical services (EMS) helicopters in every province. Kingwing initially signed with the Shanghai Emergency Medical Centre to develop EMS in eastern China, and a separate agreement with Shanghai Rui Jin Hospital to provide EMS. So far there is no government money involved. “If you look at the U.S. and European markets, there is EMS The future arrives: An air ambulance AW119Kx on show here. covering the whole area,” but in China EMS is still in its infancy, says Leonardo Helicopters VP for China Stefano Zalonis. “The potential is ืऐܠટӆభڦฉ࡛ࢇ ᆩăణമLjዐࡔڦืऐࠅິܠટӆభ huge.” ॐLjৈඁᅃ ڟࡀఇᅙঢ়ሺܓፕअӵ݀ഐକዐࡔ߲ඇࡔႠዐᅅ ऐ Kingwing owns Sino-US Intercontinental, the exclusive distributor 73 20ॐืऐLjৃڦुظ૧ ৽କٷခLjኄॽ၂ዸሺഽኄॆᅪޜfor Leonardo in China, Hong Kong and Macau, which has placed ଐ ၨᄽजă ᇨऺࣷ17ॐืऐăڦorders for nearly 100 AW119Kx, GrandNew, AW109 Trekker, ሰฆ࿄ઠຕሞዐࡔ ዐڇ۩ڦืऐࠅິܠAW169, AW139 and AW189 helicopters, many of which are for its ฉ࡛ূࣹཚᆩࡵࠅິᅙঢ়ᆅ ટӆభ 20ॐದᆶEMSยڦChina Helicopter Air Ambulance service.

Making room for a stretcher doesn’t turn a VIP helicopter into an emergency medical aircraft. “There’s much more to it than that,” says Thomas Redder, international sales vice president for air ambulance specialist Spectrum Aeromed. He’s been studying the potential in China for five years, and says the EMS industry is about to take off. U.S.-based Spectrum Aeromed plans to be part of it. The company, which has been designing, installing and certifying air ambulance interiors in fixed wing aircraft and helicopters for 25 years, has won its first two orders in China, and is exhibiting here at China Helicopter Expo for the first time (Hall 1, Booth C609). The company offers turnkey solutions, working with customers to design medical interiors (for example, for intensive Spectrum Aeromed’s pivot enables the stretcher to be easily loaded. 86G: HDJG8:I=::FJ>EB:CI 6C9I=:C integrate it so that it all works together in a ጆጀࡵᅅଐSpectrum Aeromedࠅິࡔाၨ ᇑਜ਼ࢽࢇፕยऺਜ਼֝ᅅଐยԢDŽ૩සLjᆩᇀዘኢ ᆶยԢႜणׯLjᅜՍܔยԢDžLjժڦॐ༮क़ժ ॔ࢺڅconfined space.

The nine-passenger, twin-engine AC312E helicopter developed from the AC312A by AVIC Hafei Aviation Industry Group (HAIG) for performance in hot-and-high conditions has completed flight tests on China’s plateau. The helicopter logged 63 flight hours and 63 cycles to determine its envelope at altitude as it heads towards certification by the Civil Aviation Authority of China “in the near future.” The next tests will be for extreme cold weather performance. The AC312E is optimized for altitude and reduced operating costs. With a maximum takeoff weight of 4,250 kg, it can carry nine passengers or 600 kg of cargo. Power is from two 1,072 shp (one engine inoperative) Safran Arriel 2Es; avionics are by Rockwell Collins with ProLine 21, RTA-4112 multi-scan weather radar RTA-4112 and TTR-4100 TCAS II traffic monitoring system. HAIG reports an order book for more than 80 AC312Es.
