Design
Bristow's Design Department develops modifications for our fleet, both fixed and rotary wing, and has become the largest and most capable design facility of any civil operator in the world.
Our U.K. CAA BCAR and EASA Part 21 J Design Organization Approvals together with our manufacturing capability plus ISO9001 QA accreditation enable us to provide design, manufacturing and installation services to civil and military customers worldwide.
Design disciplines cover avionics, mechanical installation, structures, stress analysis and full technical publications. This comprehensive capability allows us to offer complete service, from concept through all stages of design, manufacture, installation, test and certification.
The considerable number of examples includes:
- Jettisonable liferaft systems for the Bell 212, 412, 430 & Eurocopter AS332
- Emergency flotation systems for the Bell 204, 205, 212 & 412

he combination of our design capability and long experience of providing 24-hour SAR helicopter services uniquely qualifies Bristow as the world leader in providing modifications for this specialist activity, from providing FLIR installations to aid searching in low visibility conditions to a complete package including auto-hover, rescue and survival equipment.
SAR modifications include:
- Nitesun and FLIR installations

- Stretcher installations
- Autohover
We have produced numerous modifications for a wide range of aircraft, both helicopters and fixed wing, covering a very diverse range of requirements, from simple mechanical or avionic enhancements to more complex tasks where extensive development and trials may be necessary to achieve the required standard of integrity and performance.
