    This pilot, and his team made this landing on Everest's peak look easy. I'm sure it wasn't . Imagine the skill involved in picking just the weather and the right time to go.......let alone the route. We can think of the technology involved, such as gps autopilot, retracing your route home, radar, altimiter etc., but imagine if the weather socked in......These guys are obviously amongst the best in the world at what they do, yet that is one hell of a chance you're taking with the weather. Everything from mechanical failure, sensor failure, pilot error, weather change, can destroy you in an instant. Kudos to this team's achievement. The bravery and skill involved here is admirable, and inspiring.

      There has been quite a few evacuations by helicopters on the Everest and K2 on camp bases when possible, each time the helicopters turbine struggled with the lack of air, as well as the prop. You need to inject air into the turbine entry and under the blades, auxiliary rockets, or having newly-designed high-sustentation blades to go higher. I'm sure it will be possible one day to reach 10,000 m.

      Unfortunately no, the helico which succeed to reach the top was empty. Helicopters limit is the Camp 2 for safety reason.
      Flying at such altitude is tricky because helicopters don’t operate as safely as fixed-wing airplanes in the lower-density air found higher up in the atmosphere. Pilots who fly helicopters at mountain elevations have to learn to constantly calculate the difference between how much power they need for maneuvers such as taking off, hovering, and landing, and how much power they actually have, with air pressure and temperature critical factors. Moreover there is always the risk of avalanche or/and landslide.

      The helicopter was gutted to make it as light as possible. As far as I'm aware, there is no current helicopter that could carry passengers and their oxygen tanks at that altitude and land. You would also need exceptionally good weather, and you don't have much space for people to get in and out of the aircraft, there is no helipad.

    • @thepainphantom
      @thepainphantom 2 года назад

      Have you ever watched movies (or any space documentary) about space aircraft or astronauts just 'flying' around in the empty space? The air is literally very very thin you barely can't generate power to fly any direction you want (if you're say, a bird). That's why we use rockets there.
      The same goes for high altitude: AIR DENSITY. If the air is too thin, the heli machines can't get enough air to generate power from the engine's combustion. You do realize aircraft engines use fuel and AIR to lift them up, right?
      Do your basic physics, bruh.
      This heli is heavily modified to be as light as possible, while at the same time requires exceptionally skilled pilot as well.

      You do realize the physics of that flight. You can bet that helicopter was gutted to a minimum weight and with minimum fuel to get there and back.

      Of course climbers don't NEED to go there. But most of us don't NEED to do many things. No one needs to SURF or go SCUBA DIVING but people are adventurous and like to take on a certain amount of risk so that they are able to do AMAZING things. You're far more likely to die in your car within 3 miles of your home. That's what the cold hard numbers tell us. So some people are willing to take on some limited extra risk to do some incredible things in life that greatly add to the life experience.
      Now ... when it comes to Everest ... I will criticize many who go there to climb it because most of these people are not so much into climbing. They want to the bragging rights to say they climbed Everest ... even though there are more dangerous, difficult mountains to climb. People who love to climb love the outdoors. But they generally do not love to be in long lines. And if you decide to go climb Everest, that is likely going to be your experience .... standing in line behind dozens if not hundreds of other climbers. I'm a climber and see ZERO fun in that experience ... and I started climbing because I too had the Everest bug and wanted to climb this great mountain. But once I started climbing I realized there are so many other great climbing experiences to be had. Everest is an incredible mountain with great routes and rich history. But knowing the crowding and the trash and the local economy being completely centered around this high-altitude tourism, and the endless lines ... I've long given up my dream to climb this peak. I've had such a great experience rock climbing in the Gunks and in England and California and doing some mountaineering in the Tetons ... I don't have that burning need to do Everest just because it's the tallest by a few dozen feet. If I still wanted to climb in the Himalayas there are other fantastic peaks to ascend.

    Anyone who understands how helicopters work knows how hard this is, the air is so thin it makes no lift that high up.

      I didn't know that they could reach that altitude! I thought their max ceiling was approx. 21,000'.

    Ya thats more like a toe-in then a landing. but I gess if he lowered any more power he would have had a flame out.

      +Darien Seminoff There is not enough room for the full weight of the chopper, but under the rules that govern such records it was legally a "landing."

      Darien Seminoff The air is super thin. I don't think he'd have enough lift from a dead start.

      Darien Seminoff ... why do you think he would flame out?

    • @attilagyuris4756
      @attilagyuris4756 7 лет назад +8

      Nope, the modern FADEC Arriel engine wouldn't flame out even if he fully lowered the collective (slowly) unless it was cold enought that the fuel froze up. Jet fuel freezes at below -47ºC. But even so, there are modern additives that prevent that, like PRIST, plus the modern engines are built with fuel-heat exchangers to prevent those things from happening. . Think about it, airliners fly higher than that, and sometimes go to idle power when commencing a descent and they don't flame out. .
      Now,... as for technique: the winds up there might a factor for not wanting to lower the collective full down even if he could have ... and If there was flat surface to set down, ... which there wasn't. But assuming there was nice flat surface to land and he did lower the collective all the way down, -since the air is so thin up there- if he caught a sudden gust of wind, the helicopter would be too sluggish to respond to control inputs and he he might tumble before he could correct for it. So it wouldn`t be a safe thing to do.
      Also, (and I am speculating about this) that it could be possible that if he was able to lower the collective all the way down, it might over-rev the rotor RPM above 100%, therefore he would need to maintain some collective-up a anyway.
      I often fly and make helicopter landings up to 15000 ft elevations for mountain rescues in the Andes mountains (from our helibase at 9500 ft elevation) , and once up there I have to lower the collective veeeery slowly otherwise the rotor RPM can shoot up above 100%. When landing at 15000 ft, I never go full down on the collective at that altitude while they are loading the patients ... I always maintain some power in just in case.
      What Didier did up on the Everest was just right, considering he had to make a toe-in. Good technique.

    I think this is the best Idea to climb mount everest.. Instead of wasting 30 lakhs and taking unnecessarry risk just to prove the world which don't even care how much effort you took to cllimb mout everest . This is the best way to do that. No waste of money . Pay some few lakhs to chopper and get down on mount everest and have chilled bear there and come back safely and also you can carry multiple oxygen cylinder there ...Amazing ...hats off to you brother

    That could have been the longest auto rotation ever.

    • @flinx
      @flinx 9 лет назад +22

      +Bob A Booey The longest autorotation in history was performed by Jean Boulet in 1972 when he reached a record altitude of 12,440 m (40,814 ft) in an Aérospatiale Lama. Because of a −63 °C temperature at that altitude, as soon as he reduced power the engine flamed out and could not be restarted. By using autorotation he was able to land the aircraft safely.

    • @Aluminata
      @Aluminata 8 лет назад

      Not to mention the fastest vertical decent rate - he must have dropped out of the sky like a rock when the engine quit. 40,000 feet in a helicopter is really "off the dial!" Not a surprise no one has been back to beat it.

      Fred North broke that record in a AS350 B2 over South Africa in 2002 - 42,500 ft (12,954m)
      I read that Boulet autorotated and put his skids into the same ruts in the grass he took off from.

    • @attilagyuris4756
      @attilagyuris4756 7 лет назад

      That was because his fuel froze up. The old Lama does not have a fuel heat exchanger and I am not sure if he was using an antifreeze additive. The B3 is designed diifferently and the engine is not exposed to the elements like the Lama. Besides, it is enclosed and so it retains heat.
