The challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The renowned Austrian helicopter flight service WUCHER<\/strong><\/a> was looking for a solution: How can the pilot of a rescue helicopter recognize the distance between the load attached to the rope and the ground more precisely in unfavorable visibility conditions or at night? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An employee of WUCHER Helicopter GmbH (Vorarlberg) developed a requirement profile for a special line load element in collaboration with WESTCAM (Tyrol) and H\u00d6RMANN KMT (Salzburg). The following criteria were to be met in the realization of this project: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
