HANGAR TALK
As the First Air Rescue Organization in the European Union, DRF Luftrettung Will Soon Deploy First Five-Bladed Helicopter
DRF Luftrettung recently expanded its fleet with Airbus H145 helicopters that have five main rotor blades. The technicians at DRF Luftrettung have started equipping the first of five of these helicopters to be delivered this year, for deployment at one of the air rescue bases. The technical work in the DRF Luftrettung aircraft maintenance hangar at the Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport (FKB) will take approximately one month, followed by test flights and training of the crew, before the aircraft is expected to start its mission of saving lives in April.
“With these developments, we consistently pursue our central aim: to save people’s lives tomorrow, who we cannot yet help today,” said a delighted Dr. Krystian Pracz, CEO of DRF Luftrettung.
The non-profit organization DRF Luftrettung is starting to equip the first helicopter with a five-bladed rotor in German-speaking countries and the whole of the European Union, for deployment at an air rescue base.
“We are proud to be the first here. We have deliberately decided to deploy the five-bladed rotor system as soon as it became available on the market. Because with this investment, we are expanding our possibilities to provide fast and highly professional help to even more people in need. This corresponds with how we see ourselves, as an innovator that advances air rescue at the highest aviation, medical, and technical levels, in Germany and worldwide,” said Pracz.
Dr. Wolfgang Schoder, CEO of Airbus Helicopters
Deutschland, added, have worked intensively on the “We further
development, and would like to thank DRF Luftrettung for their confidence in our technology. We share the mission of our partner, to write new chapters in the history of air rescue.”
