High impact information on Aircraft

  • Erythropoietin production during flights with pressurised aircrafts [1].
  • METHODS: Noise levels of the the helicopters used (Alouette III, Alouette II 'Lama', Ecureuil and BK 117) were measured with a device according to class 2 DIN IEC 651 [2].
  • They were lifted up from the ground with the new RLS and two conventional techniques ("Lifesling" and a navy rescue system used in SAR helicopters) [3].
  • The accident rate for emergency medical service (EMS) helicopters is thought to be approximately twice the rate for other commercial (Part 135) helicopters [4].
  • Exposure measurements were carried out in parked aircrafts during and after application of a biocide aerosol spray (simulated in-flight spraying) [5].
 

Associations of Aircraft with chemical compounds

  • BK 117, Bell 230, and BO 105 medical helicopters flew in all aviating modes [6].
  • These manifestations were more severe among children than in adults, who were environmentally exposed mainly to 3% Malathion sprayed by helicopters several times a year for over 3-5 years [7].
  • Research at the Institute of Naval Medicine has identified liquid cooling techniques which may be suitable for aircrew in all but the smallest helicopters [8].
  • Medical helicopters: carbon monoxide risk [9]?
 

Gene context of Aircraft

  • The fast rate of pressure change during the descent of a Boeing 737 aircraft, as compared to the Boeing 747, DC-10 and Airbus 310 aircrafts, is most likely the cause of the development of the barotraumata [10].
  • The PA 200 is equipped with the most modern type of ejection seat of these aircraft [11].
  • Looking into LOX. The benefits and limitations of liquid oxygen systems for air medical helicopters [12].
  • Since the withdrawal of Royal Air Force Puma helicopters from Belize in 1994, the role of casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) of British military personnel, Belizean citizens and foreign nationals throughout the country, has passed to 25 Flight Army Air Corps, currently equipped with Gazelle helicopters [13].
