You probably won’t need this, but some oil and gas companies might. This is Dallas-based Protective Packaging Corporation’s solution for helicopter that is going to stay idle for a prolong period of time. Like the Driclad system (not to be confused with wall panels or pools) that some armed forces deployed to store inactive vehicles, Protective Packaging Corporation’s ‘packaging’ for helicopters offers a completely controlled environment around the aircraft.
The packaging is composed of unique flexible moisture barrier films to prevent moisture from getting to the helicopter, engine and other delicate electronics and electrical components, and it appears to have a frame beneath to hold up the outer barrier. There’s no mention of monitoring system though, or even moisture removing device. Considering that moisture does exist with the vehicle itself and when tightly sealed and subjected to external heat, however little, may cause moisture to developed internally. Though we are assuming that it has more than just what we see on the outside.
Protective Packaging Corporation has recently undertaken the task of packaging the helicopters of a helicopter operator that serves the offshore rigs in the North Sea. The protection will keep the heli from corrosion, mold, mildew, and remain operational ready, without further work needed to be done, when it is ready to take to the sky again. The system may be a commercial thing, it could be of use for you if you own a helicopter which you do foresee using it for months to come, and at the same, you have no wish to sell it for whatever reasons.
