DRF Luftrettung and its subsidiaries will be at European Rotors in Cologne to present their technical, aviation and medical portfolio. Headlining it will be the newly developed collision avoidance system and the fleet’s latest member, a red-and-white five-bladed H145.

European Rotors is a specialized trade fair for vertical take-off and landing aircraft that will be taking place in Cologne from Nov. 16 to 18, 2021. DRF Luftrettung will be present at it in hall K-H8 and will show how it is determinedly driving innovation in its core fields of technology, flight operation and medicine, together with its subsidiaries ARA Flugrettung and NHC Northern Helicopter. The products from their EASA Part-21 design organization will be a highlight, especially its newly developed collision avoidance system (CAS). The latter is a market innovation that serves as the organization’s response to increasing air traffic. To make it, three existing technical systems from EC135-type helicopters were brought together and combined. Eight pulsing lights (LED spotlights) and two different collision warning systems work as a single unit to set off acoustic and visual alarms as soon as another aircraft becomes dangerously close. ‘“See and be seen” is what the new system aims for. Our success as air rescuers depends significantly on airspace safety. The new CAS further improves this safety,’ explains Dr Krystian Pracz, chairperson of the DRF Luftrettung Executive Board. The intensive testing stage for the new CAS has been completed shortly before the fair, with the system being optimized down to the finest detail. The boost for safety can now also be provided to third parties, along with many other services that DRF Luftrettung will present at its stand. ‘We are greatly excited for the conversations that we will have at the fair. As one of the largest and most experienced air rescue organizations in Europe, we are always happy to share our long-standing expertise from our role as a maintenance and repair organization, training school and design organization with those who are interested,’ Dr Krystian Pracz emphasizes.

Other insights into educational programs and day-to-day air rescue

DRF Luftrettung will be easily recognizable thanks to its static display of a red-and-white five-bladed H145 at its stand inside hall K-H8. At it, visitors will have the chance to talk with the air rescuers. In addition to presentations of the latest innovation, the DRF Luftrettung academy’s courses in aviation, technology and medicine will be put on show alongside the new professional helicopter pilot training program. Experts from the subsidiaries ARA Flugrettung and NHC Northern Helicopter will also be in attendance to provide specialized information about Alpine hoist and offshore rescue.
