Two Singapore Polytechnic students who met through their shared love of airplanes will be among the first polytechnic students to learn working with the military-grade AS332 Super Puma helicopter. The agreement between SP and the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) gives 330 students hands-on experience exploring the helicopter's systems, engines, and learning from real-world aircraft maintenance.
Singapore Polytechnic students Chan Keng Yeow and Weng Xianjun will get to learn with the AS332 Super Puma helicopter.
The helicopter is equipped with updated technology for both mechanical and electronic aspects, giving students more practical training in aircraft aerodynamics and ground support equipment, among other subjects. The first was the UH-1 Iroquois, a utility helicopter that was given to SP in November 2010. It was used by over 13,800 students, mainly for training in aircraft maintenance. It has since been returned to the RSAF.
“Students will get the chance to dismantle parts of the aircraft, and study its structure and various electronic parts,” he said.S’pore Aero Engine Services to invest $242m in new aerospace facilities; 500 jobs to be created“I’m sad because I’m graduating soon and will not get a lot of time with the new helicopter,” said Ms Weng, adding that she is still excited to explore the aircraft.
Mr Chan said the Super Puma will give him the opportunity to learn from new systems, adding variety to his learning.
