Research Project Final Webinar: Helicopter Off-Shore Operations – New Flotation Systems

EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency and DART Aerospace invite you to the final event of the research project: Helicopter Off-Shore Operations – NEW FLOTATION SYSTEMS

The main objective of the Research Project 'Helicopter Off-Shore Operations – New Flotation Systems' has been to assess the feasibility of the introduction of an air pocket scheme utilising flotation units mounted high up on the helicopter fuselage. It had to provide confidence and evidence that proposed solutions were technically feasible and cost-effective without introducing undue disadvantages.

The project has now accomplished all the objectives, and we are using a webinar for the final project event. In this webinar, EASA and DART Aerospace will:

  • introduce the research scope and objectives,
  • summarise the research activities and main results,
  • inform about the expected benefits from the project, and
  • give the possibility for questions and answers.

Please find the agenda below.

For collecting questions and answers, slido will be used:

  • Event link: Here you go,
  • Event code: 3189153,
  • Passcode: tst949.

You can already provide questions before the event.

Also, kindly note that this webinar will be recorded and made available at the EASA website after the event.

Further information on the project and the public deliverables can be found on the project page at the EASA website: Helicopter Off-Shore Operations – New Flotation Systems | EASA (europa.eu).
