Aircraft Mechanic - #2159397

You want to become part of a startup that unites med-tech, defense, and aerospace? Then read the following: Many years of practical experience and clinical research in emergency medicine have proved that mortality and time to operation are heavily correlated. The longer the therapy-free interval, the lower the survival probability of the patient, especially for penetrating traumas such as gunshot wounds. AVILUS introduces a flight system that complements the standard assets of the evacuation chain. It consists of an uncrewed aerial vehicle (MEDEVAC), a truck-integrated control room (PECC), a trailer for logistics and service (TROL), as well as a digital backbone (MEDC4I).
