Christoph 16, Rescue helicopter service in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
The EC135 helicopter Christoph 16 operates with advanced medical equipment and can transport patients across Rhineland-Palatinate at speeds reaching 252 kilometers per hour.
The Christoph 16 service began operations as part of Germany's expanding emergency medical air transport network, following the introduction of the EC135 model in 1996.
The naming convention of German rescue helicopters follows a system where Christoph honors Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers and transportation.
The helicopter maintains readiness for emergency calls throughout daylight hours, carrying emergency physicians and medical equipment for immediate response to critical situations.
The EC135's Fenestron tail rotor design generates minimal noise during operations, making it suitable for missions in densely populated urban areas.
