Lars Thogersen reclines across the brand new stretcher he has designed for SAS Component and Bucher Leichtbau.

The New Generation Stretcher System is making its debut in Hall 3/E3 on the SAS Component stand.

Although flexible and comfortable, it weighs just 38kg (80lb) and offers various innovative features to make it easier for flight crew to transport sick or injured passengers.

Its modular design means it can be assembled quickly and stowed again afterwards.

The upper part of the stretcher can be removed so the patient can be carried directly onto the aircraft.
