Business Strategy Zach Plotkin

10

The short light single market currently has very little aircraft dedicated to the HEMS market, but many are multi-mission.

• Weight – 125 lbs max

• Cost – 5% of aircraft cost

• Tool Accessibility – 100% accessibility by 20% Female; 95% Male

• Loading Time – 15-20 minutes for pre-wrapped patient

• Lead Time of Kit – 1 month

• Interchangeability – Percent interchangeable in different 505 aircraft and easily transportable to the fleet and installed

• Patient/Crew Safety – Safely transport between field and hospital

• Functionality – User adjustability, human factors

• System Reliability – Mean Time Between Failure (TBD)

Voice of the Customer Connor Nehls

• Care Flight

– Pilot doesn’t leave

– Assumed they have first responders

– Emphasized use of blood floors

• Air Methods

– Won’t fly without blood floor

– Portable Components

14



Assumptions Jason Cornelius

• There is value to keep the 2nd attendant seat in the cabin

– 505 EMS Kit could be sold in the United States

• First Responders will be on scene prior to aircraft arrival

• Goal of Bell cost (for mat’l, manf, labor of installation) is 5% of the aircraft price

• Determination of Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) cost is considered out of scope for this project

Final Solution and Layout Jason Cornelius

17



Litter Design Matt Jinkens

• Original Ideas

– Carrying the patient

– Guide track

– Mount to co-pilot seat rails

– Mechanical vs. strap locking

• Preliminary Design

– Litter type – Aeromedical litter

– Method of guiding litter

o Large “target area” for litter

– Method of securing litter

o Simple, fast, safe

18



Litter Design Matt Jinkens

19

• Final Design/Solution

– Modify pre-existing

Aeromedical litter

o Add wheels and supplementary supports

– Refined guide concept

oVoice of customer

– Simple, reliable latching system

– Consulted 505 flooring designers concerning latch mounting points

• Risk Assessment

– Trip Hazard Evaluation

– Dynamic load requirements (FAR 27.561)

Requirement – 1 Litter in EMS Kit √



Medical Units and Storage Will Hampton

• 407 Design – Changes made based on the

VOC

• Equipment – Portable

o Defibrillator – Propaq MD* o Ventilator – Revel PTV* o IV Pump – Braun 323* o Oxygen Tank – 20 minute

Supply

– Stationary o Suction – Drive Medical* o Medical Air Tank (3 hours) o Large Oxygen Supply (3

hours)

• Mounting – Portable “Caddy” System – Stationary Floor Mounted

*Suggested Supplier

20



Medical Units and Storage Will Hampton

• Final Design

• Risk Assessment

– Dynamic Load

21

Requirement – Carry all Medical Equipment Listed in SOW √



Pilot Collective Protection Amelia Smith

• Original Ideas

– A separation wall to reduce interference using:

o Carbon fiber with expandable foam, aluminum, acrylic boards


– Type of material, stiffness, height of wall, method of attaching to floor

22



Pilot Collective Protection Amelia Smith

• Final Design/Solution

– Aluminum wall 0.05x13x27’’ and 0.05x13x15’’

• Risk Assessment

– Further testing to ensure appropriate height and

thickness

23



Bodily Fluid Containment Connor Nehls

• Original Ideas

– Permanent Blood Floor, Polyethylene stretched formed

– Temporary: tarp, rubber floor

• Design

– Ron Measom

– Keith Charles - Mosites

– Rubber mat - 1/8’’

– Latch Protection

• Risk Assessment

– Further testing on fasteners

– Maintenance Intervals

24



Lighting Zach Plotkin

25

• Original ideas: temporary,

recessed, bolted fixtures


– Mount

– NVIS

– Location

• Final Solution

– 2 lights mounted with potted inserts

o NVIS White 6” Pod Light

o NVIS White Round Dome Light

– Electrical Connection

– Curtis DeKeyrel

– Mgr Avionics & System Int.



Lighting Zach Plotkin

26

• Risks – Lighting blocking the view of the pilot – Lighting structures hanging low getting in way – Lights falling from ceiling

• Solutions – NVIS lights with dimmer – 2 smaller structures – Potted inserts are rated for 90 lbs of load and only needs to support a max of 18.2 lbs of dynamic load – Weight of Full Lighting System

o 2.0 lbs

Requirement – Kit shall consist of a lighting feature for medical staff √



IV Fixture Austin Ellsworth

• Original Ideas

– Individual Eyehooks secured with

potted inserts

– Portable IV stand

– L-track as seen on 429


– Considered weight, versatility, cost,

and necessary aircraft modifications

– Preliminary Layout

o edge distance, hole spacing,

length

– SME Guidance

27



IV Fixture Austin Ellsworth

28

• Final Design Concept

– Location

– Easy to Install

– Versatility

– Material

o Light

– .2 lbs

o Low Cost

• Risk Assessment

– Final Location TBD per stress analysis on mounting surface

Requirement – Kit shall contain IV Ceiling Hooks √



Cost and Weight Summary Jason Cornelius

• Weight Requirements – 125 lbs excluding litter

• Met Recurring Cost Goal of 5%

– $1,070,000 * .05 o $53,500

• Sales and marketing will decide on optimal kit price

– Based on 407, we assumed purchase price of kit at 10% of aircraft cost

29

Requirement – Weight of EMS Kit 34% less than target √



CG Analysis Jason Cornelius

Scorecard Armstrong Ekpete

31

Critical To Satisfaction (VOC/VOB) Project Status

Weight – 125 lbs max excluding litter ~ 83 lbs

Cost – 5% of aircraft cost ~ 3% (~ $28K)

Tool Accessibility – 100% accessibility by 20% Female; 95% Male

100%

Loading Time – 15-20 minutes for pre-wrapped patient

TBD mock up simulation shows we will be able to meet this

Lead Time of Kit – 1 month TBD but expect most off the shelf products

Interchangeability – Percent interchangeable in different 505 aircraft and easily transportable to the fleet and installed

100%

Patient/Crew Safety – Safely transport between field and hospital

Expect 0 recordables or incidents due to EMS Kit

Functionality – User adjustability, human factors Maintenance activities meet anthropometric requirements

System Reliability – Mean Time Between Failure (TBD)

TBD expect high maintenance intervals



Conclusion Armstrong Ekpete

• All requirements from the SOW were met or exceeded

• Opportunities

– 2nd Seat – Compliant with US Requirements

– Lower Level Kit – 3rd World Country

o Remove Bodily Fluid Containment

o Eliminate/Downgrade medical equipment

– Mesh Storage Capacity

– Ensure compatibility with 505 HVAC Kit with further analysis
