Helicopter Eurocopter On Mount Everest Summit
Posted by: CSDCHI
Video duration: 313 seconds
Thin air, altitude, peril, danger, but the helicopter can overcome all this. This is why we love helicopters so much. Enjoy the video.

If it is true ? All this? time they could fly a helicopter up there and they couldn't save some of those people that have perished . Hmmmmmm! ????
By: Nuttyjake46. on 22 Apr 12, 21:18:40
Need more? proof !!

Bollocks no helicopter can fly that high ! Whee are the colored flags that all the climbers tight together ,? I don't think that was the summit ,

Soooo, where can I get a charter to drop me on the top,? snap a few pictures, and then take me back down?haha :P

The FAI (International Aeronautical Federation) Rotorcraft Commission has confirmed the ratification of mr. Delsalle's record 'highest take-off'on March 3, 2006. And no, this does not make rescuing climbers from the 'Death Zone' above 8000 meters by helicopter a viable option. Weather conditions are far worse then, wind speeds even exceeding the never-exceed airspeeds of the chopper,? bad visibility, not to mention the extra weight of a 2 or 3-man crew including gear and winches/longlines etc.

And indeed, it was a perfectly pretty day, wind speed on the summit around 75 mph (120 kmh). So, it's not hovering at all, its technically flying at around 60-65 knots airspeed, more or less in ground effect. This same AS350? has been flown to 10.211 meters (33.500) on April 14, 2005 according to Eurocopter. The Mount Everest 'landing' was part of a series of high-altitude/high-rate of climb tests.

I do a bit of climbing and a bit of helicopter flying and used do? some aeronautical engineering so let me try to get a few things straight: It was a perfectly normal AS350 B3, stripped of most of its interior, thus saving around 250 lbs (120kgs), with half-empty fuel tanks (1 hour endurance). So, only one or two little camera's on the chopper for weight-saving purposes.

Il y a encore, six ans après, des? doutes et des contestations. Non n'importe quel pilote n'aurait pas pu faire cela, sans doute pas non plus tous les pilotes d'essais. Le manque d'air est compensé par les vents terrifiants.... et puis Didier était le "premier" grimpeur cette année-là, les conditions ayant été jusque là trop mauvaises et il ne lui a fallu pas plus de vingt minutes pour faire Lukla-Everest et retour ce qui explique sa solitude au sommet : Il était convenu qu'il ne gênerai personne

As far as a documentary video goes, this one sucks! Why didn't they have at least one other camera on the ground at the base camp for climbers? I have seen dozens of videos shot from high base camp (18,500 ft) where individual? climbers can be seen summiting so why couldn't they ask an expedition to turn on a camera and point it at the summit that morning? There are more cameras attached to a teenage base jumper than to this chopper...REALLY!? frickin' french minimalism.

I am too, I'm? curious to know all the "data" on this flight, like winds/temps aloft, gross weight, fuel load and such

"On May 14, 2005 an AS350 B3 piloted by Eurocopter test pilot Didier Delsalle (fr:Didier Delsalle) touched down on the top of Mt. Everest, at 8,850 metres (29,035 feet) .[3] This record has been confirmed by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale" From Wikipedia + Rotorcraft World Records?
By: jjsemperfi. on 04 Jul 11, 22:37:39
I'm just a little skeptical that even a stripped AS350 could hover OGE on Everest at? 28,000 ft. Seems fake to me.
By: Dracony345. on 04 Jul 11, 07:54:24
Super!?
By: SpotTheSteez. on 08 May 11, 23:41:01
shit i would rather? do that than actually climb it lol
By: b3gunkid90. on 05 Feb 11, 00:29:33
I don't think eurocopter? would risk their reputation by faking this, but there again, who`s going to find out !
By: WormsEatMyGarbage. on 28 Dec 10, 23:19:45
I think this is? fake. Where is all the junk thats on top flags ox bottles. If it was a nice day their would be climbers on top.
By: monkeyhanger007. on 05 Dec 10, 12:52:50
its nothing to do with wieght its how thin the air is at? that altitude
By: 12Mammut. on 03 Dec 10, 00:58:05
In this machien faild so much? all seat are out every thing from the Landingbay is away and sooo on other ways it will be not possible to flight at 8850 m with this type of helicopter
By: 12Mammut. on 03 Dec 10, 00:55:26
ther is on little flag look at 3:30 on the left Landingbay ther is on? litle red flag :D
By: 12Mammut. on 03 Dec 10, 00:51:19
I? would know how much the Machien have weight at this time.
By: jkyet. on 19 Oct 10, 22:08:33
Its actually not that different in this case. It uses a turboshaft engine, so it? can go pretty much as high as a normal turbofan on an airliner. the thinness does play a huge part here, because of the low density, the rotor needs to turn a lot faster
By: Highwaycrazy. on 27 Sep 10, 20:13:26
Sorry, I didn't say it was free of air. There just? isn't enough O2 for a helicopter engine to function. A plane's engine is different to a helicopter's. I'm not sure whether the thinness of air plays a part?
By: munyones. on 14 Sep 10, 19:00:56
Err... following that reasoning, airliners fly higher and their turbines use oxygenated air too, yet they don't fall down. C'mon! Everest summit is not Space. There isn't enough air for a proper breathing during too much time, but that doesn't mean that it's 'free' of air. The problem is not about oxygen (a turbine first stage can be designed to provide all needed, by? means of high RPM and high absorbment. The problem is too thin air to provide lift.
By: Highwaycrazy. on 07 Sep 10, 20:07:48
How can this helicopter's engine function at 8km in the sky without any oxygen? The engine is dependent on? oxygenated air.

You realy have to battle to get people to belive? this hoax ..why dont you give up and admit it was an April fool ..you fools
