Only the qualified test report issued by the testing center is valid.

The helipad system installed by Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital is currently an internationally advanced and domestically leading all-aluminum multi-layer helipad with multiple invention patents. system. Its aluminum panel adopts a multi-layer structure design, which releases the force layer by layer, which not only reduces the impact on the support structure, but also reduces the impact damage to the helicopter caused by reaction force and vibration.
