Development of a Litter Access Device for C-141 Aeromedical Aircraft.
Abstract
The litter access device (LAD) for C-141 aeromedical aircraft was designed and developed to provide a unit which would enable aeromedical personnel to have safe access to patients in upper litter spaces and which would permit able litter patients to ascend to and descend from upper litter positions in safety during aeromedical airlift. Prototypes underwent operational test and evaluation on Military Airlift Command aeromedical missions flown in C-141 aircraft. Evaluations indicated the litter access device fulfilled the functional and operational requirements. (Author)
