Prototype Internal Rescue Hoist for UH-ID, Series V22.228.400, Provisional Technical Description (Prototypen Innenrettungswinde Fuer Uh-Id, Series: V22.228.400).

摘要

An internal hoist for helicopter was developed by AEG-Telefunken to be used for rescue and recovery operations as well as for transporting loads. These hoists are installed in the lightweight helicopter Bell UH-1D and are applied for rescue maneuvers above the sea and in the mountains for the purposes of SAR service. The hoist is assembled from integrated functional groups. Therefore, it can be modified easily to match the requirements of any other type of helicopter. At disasters in terrain difficult of access and to be reached by rescue parties on foot often not until after hours and under great dangers, helicopters equipped with rescue hoists will render quick aid, riskless for the rescue team. The AEG rescue hoist operates reliably and safely without capacity reductions also in great altitude and at extreme low temperatures. (Author)
