AMS and AUTOFLUG jointly work on projects
As part of an agreement between the German company AUTOFLUG and American company AMS Heli Design, the first customer projects have been worked on jointly in recent months
The cooperation initially focused on the current seats for civil helicopters from the AUTOFLUG FLYWEIGHT seat family. “The successful cooperation in the past is the basis for the next step for us, with which we will jointly position ourselves even stronger for the international market of helicopter conversions,” said Martin Kroell, Managing Partner at AUTOFLUG.
AMS Heli Design is on course of rapid expansion and is expecting to acquire a growing number of helicopter conversions in the coming years, in part thanks to the FLYWEIGHT seats being integrated into its interior solutions for medical transport helicopters.
Strong partner needed
“Our commitment in the past few years, the development and permanent improvement of our innovative solutions are being noticed and recognized in the market,” Andrea Girolin, Owner and Managing Director of AMS in the USA, explained. “To further secure our growth, we needed a strong partner by our side whom we can trust and with whom we can prepare for the projects ahead and AUTOFLUG is definitely the best partner we could choose.”
Meanwhile, EASA awarded the ETSO approval to the AUTOFLUG FLYWEIGHT.
