The Specialist Access Division of
Youngman Group has recently
completed a project on behalf of the
Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team
(RAFAT) to design and manufacture
a viewing platform for use with its
Hawk aircraft. More commonly
known as The Red Arrows, RAFAT
required a platform that would allow
visitors to safely view the front
cockpit area of its Hawk T Mk.1 jets.
Key design criteria were manoeuvrability and size, which have been achieved by incorporating lockable swivel castors within a lightweight construction that can easily support up to four people at a time thanks to a 364kg safe working load.
In addition, to reduce the risk of children falling into the cockpit area the height of the platform could not exceed one metre.
