Charity helmet production by aviation launched

The Aviation Military Academy joined the production of protective helmets for medical personnel. The first ready protective equipment went to the Military Hospital in Dęblin.

Helmets are made of the same material as PET bottles. They perfectly protect the face against bacteria, thanks to which they provide significant protection against viruses and, what is important, are reusable.

“Help in this difficult time for everyone is first needed by medical services. At the Aviation Military Academy, we join a nationwide campaign and decided to use our modern 3D printers for the production of helmets. The great thing is that the academic community can unite at such times. Now we all shoot at one goal,” Rector-Commandant Brig. pil. dr Piotr Krawczyk emphasized.

Helmets are manufactured using 3D printers. So far, 40 items have been produced at the Eagle School. There are also plans to print about 200 visors, which will be given to those in need in the coming weeks. Officers and LAW lecturers joined the campaign. Production is supervised by the Dean of the Faculty of Aviation, Lt. Col. Dr. Eng. Robert Czapla. The whole is financed from the funds of the Academy.
