SELECTED WORK

  1. Modified illustration of standard Search and Rescue platform configuration (unmodified source: Leonardo Helicopters)

    Project 01

    Stryker Performance / Power PRO XT Locker System in Leonardo AW101

    Redesigned a preliminary Stryker ambulance stretcher locker system to meet RNoAF 330 Squadron and rotorcraft OEM requirements for maximum mass and operability. The revision reduced mass by 25% relative to the original design and incorporated user feedback on functionality.
