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.

New website launched

Our new website has been launched on the 2nd of September. It has been an extremely busy year for the Flight Structures team with several large EMS projects in design, certification and production, a busy time in the Ag Sector, SMS Implementation well underway and an office refit.

The website will be added to regularly with new photos, products and features. You can also check out our facebook page for client stories, or our linked in page via the links at the bottom of the page.

NZAAA Recognise Murray McGregor

Recently in Auckland the NZAAA (New Zealand Agricultural Aircraft Association) awarded Murray with an award recognising his pursuit of operational excellence through his time in the industry.

Murray McGregor is the most successful and influential agricultural aircraft design engineer in New Zealand. His vast reservoir of knowledge and experience accumulated over almost 50 years encompass all aspects of light aircraft and design and certification.

The Pacific Aerospace 750 XL, CT/4E, and Cresco 08-600 aircraft are all products of Murray’s engineering skills and reflect his design style which focusses on simple effective systems and efficient light weight structures. The agricultural aviation industry respect and admire Murray for his continued efforts to develop and improve agricultural aircraft to cope with New Zealand unique conditions, which has led to immense safety improvements.

Murray led the modification programme to reconfigure the 750 XL for agricultural work for Farmers Air. The result, the Falco 3000, is one of the best Ag aircrafts in the world. He is currently working on the Diesel Air conversion of the FU24-950/954.

Intern Programme at Flight Structures

Flight Structures has employed interns for many years. We can see the benefits for our team, and for the engineering community. Here is a short video about our intern programme which was put together by the University of Waikato to promote their engineering school.
