Event To Be Held In Late September In Duxford, UK
The latest European safety requirements for helicopter
operators is just one of the high profile topics that will be
discussed in depth at Helitech’s conference this year.
Helitech 2011 takes place at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford,
near Cambridge, from September 27-29. The Helitech Conference,
which is new for 2011, will take place beginning the afternoon of
the 28th and continuing on the morning of the 29th
The conference will be chaired by helicopter specialist and
journalist, Andrew Drwiega, who is internationally recognised for
his independent insight and commentary on the rotary-wing
scene.
A session on the environment will look at greener helicopter
development for the future and give a perspective on current
research and development plans. There will be particular focus on
engine development, covering areas such as the use of new fuels,
creating new efficiencies and lowering costs.
With energy security so prominent in news headlines, the
conference will look at the development of wind farms and how the
rotary-wing industry is looking to capitalise on this increasingly
important utility area. This session will also consider recommended
helicopter rescue techniques that have been developed for wind farm
fields.
Security and surveillance technology as well as parapublic air
support requirements will also be covered in the highly topical
agenda. The conference will be held in the Airspace facility at
Duxford and is being kindly sponsored by Bell Helicopter.
Helitech Exhibition Manager, Brandon Ward, said: “Our
initial research into the kinds of topics to include in the
conference was greeted with great enthusiasm across the industry.
This is the first time we’ve staged our own conference during
the Duxford event. Our aim is both to attract new visitors to
Helitech and offer existing visitors and exhibitors the chance to
hear about some of the latest developments in areas such as
security technology and parapublic air support.”
This year marks 25 years of Helitech supporting and promoting
the helicopter industry. The show enjoys the support of both the
British Helicopter Association (BHA) and the European Helicopter
Association (EHA).
