It is hoped that the initial aircraft will be an S76C+ but this will depend on raising sufficient funds

One
patient, four attendants configuration |
The helicopter will be configured to carry two pilots, four medical staff and normally one patient. If necessary the cabin could be re-roled to carry both baby and Mum plus a four person medical team.
Cruising at speeds of up to 180 m.p.h. with an endurance of three hours the S76C+ is ideally suited for this type of operation.
Fitted with a fully coupled autopilot, weather radar and G.P.S. system the S76 can be flown safely by either one or two pilots
