- -the purchasing and positioning of the gyrocopter
as a means of flight transporta- tion in order to
support projects of other nonprofit organisations
or to carry out these projects independently.

AfricaIts all about people!
- Who is Zumat?
- Zumat is the Zululand Mission Air Transport and
was established in 1975. - -is a Christian Mission Organisation dedicated
to bringing health care to the rural areas of the
KwaZulu Natal Province through aviation. This
area is on the east side of South Africa on the
Indian Ocean and borders Mozambique and Swaziland
to the North. - -Zumat serves the communities and health
workers, transports doctors, workers, patients
and emergency cases between hospitals and to
larger medical centers as far south as Durban. -

4The TaskIts all about people!
- Like so many parts of Africa, HIV-AIDS and
tuberculosis has affected this area as well. The
hospitals carry out programs in order to diagnose
and treat the diseases as quickly as possible. .
This takes place through the collection of
laboratory samples which are collected in the
clinics and are delivered to the hospitals to be
examined. The treatment is determined by the
results of these samples. Subsequent tests
indicate whether or not the treatment is
effective, or whether an alternative must be
initiated.
5The ChallengeIts all about people!
- The laboratory samples are infectious, and the
time between the actual sample-taking and the
testing in the laboratory is limited. The
landrovers are not allowed to travel the
shortcuts through the Game Parks. The long trips
over rugged roads increase the chance that the
results from the samples are not accurate.
Therefore, the quick and smooth transport of
these samples is extremely important. - The costs of delivering the samples (approx. 10
kg) with a normal fixed wing aircraft are very
high.
6The SolutionIts all about people!
- The RAF 2000 Gyrocopter has the following
characteristics, which make it an ideal means of
transport for the laboratory samples - -two seats one Pilot plus 100 kg or one
passenger - -100 120 kph . It requires 50 to 100 meters
for takeoff and can land on the spot. - -The gyrocopter burns 16 18 liters per hour,
and the operating costs are approximately 1 Euro
per kilometer.

8Saving lives - Its all about people!
- Approximately 60 laboratory samples fit into a
suitcase such as this. - Each sample represents the life of one person.
- The RAF 2000 has 2 seats. The pilot sits on the
left seat, and beside him on the right seat is
the opportunity for 60 people to have a chance to
live!
