Fun seeing the "Gelbe Engeln" of ADAC again. I was told that I was the only American ever invited to try out for ADAC as a Rettungsflieger. Extremely demanding selection process, a week up in Hamburg at the Luft u. Raumfahrt Center... 10 Pilots showed up, a mix of German Heer, Luftwaffe and Marine...and me the sole Ami. Only two slots were open, I came in 3rd place. I was guaranteed a slot the next spring...but I returned to active duty and ended up going to Afghanistan twice and to Africa in Special Operations assignments. Today, years later seeing the Eurocopter factory again made me smile because I'm rated in every model they make now. Gute Arbeit Jungs! Weitermachen!
No one makes better helicopters than Europeans. Also, the part at 19:05 is part of why the whole world's helicopter rescue teams come to Europe for training.
What wonderful machines! "Whoever saves a life, saves the world"(Maimonides). Thank you for your mission, know-how and bravery. Best from Nuuk, Greenland.
Awesome documentary. Great example of well executed German engineering and training and an important pillar of the healthcare system for those in immediate need. Thank you!
17:48 Very interseting to learn how they balance the blades. This is what a documentary should be. Informative. I've missed that in the last 20 years or so where most documentaries have seemed to be aimed at Kindergarten audiences.
to be honest it does not inspire a lot of confidence that little weights and metal pieces sticking off the blade are going to hold up over time and keep a blade balanced. There has to be more durable and better design to this blade balancing
@@Giggidygiggidy12 I guess the springs only is there to push the "metal pieces" to one side or the other - not to hold them in any particular distance.
Excellent documentary. Very informative. Pleasing to watch. I was fascinated to see, in this age of robotic automation, the manufacturing process of these aircraft requires so much direct hands-on work.
As a 'First Responder' at Industrial job sites, not enough can be said of EMS or the crews that unselfishly go into danger at the site of the accident. My job, now disabled, was to make a safety check of the location and either render aid there or to remove the victim before EMS was even to arrive. Nice that these EMS have such good support and that the chances for the victim's survival have so improved across the years.
Now you know why a single 200 mile STARS air ambulance ride can cost you $40,000. It's not an ambulance, it's a flying shock trauma life support center.
@@Jdalio5 each state government issues a contract to provide aero medical services for a set fee but most rescue services are community based so fundraising takes place to help with the cost, it's very effective & majority of helos are aw139s with some bell 412s & bk117s. The system works here thanks to government & sponsors. Try googling racq lifeflight, westpac rescue, toll rescue or if you have access to Facebook look them up.
Todo el tiempo he pensado que los alemanes son los mejores. Tienen un sistema de salud envidiable, una cultura hermosa y mucho desarrollo. Felicidades Alemania.
Great Doco and Aeronaut's comment says it right, only thing strange for me was lack of protection around the rotor when doing the balance and run in its like they have never seen one break
i wonder what kind of failure detection there is, such as a brake for detected issues or something. i have never seen one break, i would be interested in checking that out.
17:09 I would like to have seen proper secondary locking plates to prevent those nuts from coming undone due to vibration. Those castle nut pins and lockwiring always feels a bit like a work-around to me. Given the lengths they go to I think it is a reasonable request to have proper secondary locking features. Clamp the primary structural nuts in place once they have been torqued.
@Mark Freeman Not sure about using locking plates, or locking tab washers. Industry grade ( non aviation ) have been known to loosen up and move in situ. As an air frame fitter I wasn't officially trained in most threaded fastenrs. On the other hand lockwire-nuts and wire are used intensively on J79 & F-110 engines ancillary components.
@@trespire I think tabs are poor choice too. What you want I would expect, are locking plates that lock the nut in position once it has been torqued. The locking plates themselves may then use, say threadlocking compound, lock tabs or lockwire. These latter options are frought with problems since they are hard to visually inspect that they are doing their job.
@Mark Freeman I'm afraid you've lost me there. I'm not sure what locking plates look like, I have an Idea what they might look like, maybe even seen them. I was an air frame structural mechanic then an air frame fitter. So I never actually work with this type of hardware. I'll have to look it up.
@@trespire Locking plates simply look lke a hollow nut that slides over the outer hex profile of the nut, with a fixing point so that the nut can be clamped locked solid once the main nut is torqued. This way , the nut will not be able to overcome the friction and start to come undone.
It's not for aerodynamic reasons either. In fact it's less effective than a conventional tail rotor. It's main benefit (at least it's promoted that way) is that it's quieter in certain frequency ranges (in which the noise emissions are being measured at) so you can promote it as one of the most silent helicopters in it's class. In general it's still too loud
41:45 They have requested us because of a life-threatening coronary condition (see you in 30 minutes), but I'm going to continue to give this interview for a bit instead of telling the pilot to begin startup.
Wow surprised Airbus went with a rigid rotor with conventional bearings as opposed to the full articulating with elastomeric bearings like on their other copters.
Standard commentary. "The bigger machine needs more material", "When every second counts, it's vital to be fast", "When rotors rotate, they move", "water is wet", These commentators' script writers' wisdom and insight is fathomless.
Philippe Ant, Here? 41:52. A. I know your comment is tongue jn cheek but helicopter is @ left in the shot, steps away. B. Never get the heart rate pumping unnecessarily to then sit in a confined space and do precision work.
Airbus - It's nteresting that this commercial jet maker took on helicopters. Have they improved safety for building top landings in high, shifting winds?
...not covered (nor shown), dang. ILS landing for rooftop would be *THE MOST* useful application. Accomplished via triangulation xceivers on nearby buildings
Issue 2 - high thrust to weight ratio is always better but dead weight is push resistant. I haven't compared this helicopter operational weight to others - neither did they.
Now, regarding the dog 32:57 We sure do ask a lot of this planet. When AI Robots replace many tasks, I hope that we are *ESPECIALLY GOOD to good dogs.*
That:`s how it is to live in a country where every one has medical aid. When you need them they are there and no one speaks about money. You don`t get a bill in the post afterwards.
Intro too long. From their website, rotor diameter is 10.8 m. @8:45 you say landing in a 30 x 30 m clearing leaves only "a few meters" clearance. I don't know too many people that would call 9.6 m 'a few'. @15:25 Centrifujal? No - hard 'g'. Centrifugal, like 'gull' at the end. You were doing so well with the zero artificial drama thing.. ah well...

How do they know which wires go where when the colors are all the same, especially when making terminal connectors at the various connection points? I would be so lost without color-coded wires and pre-made connectors. I'm surprised they don't use some kind of air filtration for the turbines. They will suck in a lot of dirty air, and possibly ruin the motors.
Narration is too irritating to listen to. It is silicone, not silicon - and after hearing "one hundred forty-five" for the tenth time, I give up after 8 minutes. It is called "one four five".

The tail rotor is shrouded for aerodynamic reasons, not for safety. The safety aspect is just an added benefit.

No, it's a "special test bench." You're treating it like they're made from 7 2x4s.

Well done. Informative and exact video for brain work.
I’m surprised the exterior assemblies aren’t pre painted so that there doesn’t need to be time wasted painting the whole aircraft later.
It's easier and lighter this way, besides, you can choose any design, not only one color of gelcoat.
Well made doc my second time watching it very intersting
Funny how the simulator costs more then the actual helicopter
good point lol
Super👍
