I was a lineman in Southeast Texas. We had a sky crane like this that was setting metal 2 pole H - structures for our 138 k v transmission line that several twister's from a hurricane that damaged several structures. It was an awesome sight to see. God bless them all for a job well done❣️❣️❣️
I'm a senior researcher at Heimkeeper Co., Ltd.Our company has an idea to reduce propeller noise and vibration of helicopters and drones.We're done with the experiment.We have applied for a utility model and a patent As a result of several experiments with small propellers, the current noise and vibration reduction effect is about 30%.Looking forward good news from you soon
I've done this before being taken up by the long line and it was FUN!!! Only difference was is that I wasn't strapped to a safety harness. I was holding on to a 250' longline and my feet were between the rungs of the hook. It was at the end of the day of helicopter logging. The the guy you call a hooker hooks up logs to the hook that's suspended 250' down opposite of the helicopter. We were on a very steep hill high in the mountains. The original plan was to have the helicopter land and we would get in and be flown out to the landing but it was too steep for the helicopter to land so plan B was to get on the hook and ride out.
@@ShortArmOfGod Correction it's like walking on a 2 lane road (no sidewalk) while having all vehicles travel constantly at 50mph or higher (NO SLOWING DOWN). You're more likely to die from an accident with a 600lb blade spinning at 500rpm than you are from walking a sidewalk.
You guy's need to stock up on marvel mystery oil for your equipment ASAP by the gallons. It helps with fuel burning consumption to. Witch helps it burns hotter & slower& last longer to.
I'd would anyways especially having to do those jobs.& It saves hassles of having to clean injectors more frequently that way to. And saves on oil burning consumption to use in the oil before changing it first for at least 15 minutes when warmed up.
' favor skycrane helicopter S-64... come on american company must make many more better, bigger, powerful S-64 / S-65 / S-66 / S-67 / S-68 / S-69 / S-70
i worked in pdc i got shocked for working in pdc i been getting fallowed by guys slooking at construction from pdc b0u0ildings armen balian maybbe canada up 0th0is side is techology they chip and shock
@@mjfirthau nope the fuel tanks are in the fuselage in the forward and aft sections and the helicopter burns 500 gallons an hour so the flight time for them is quite short , they have to refuel after doing one lift.
I wonder how many feminist are in the work crew. Pay attention ladies and gentlemen. These are the baddest guys in the world. Bringing you the comforts of life. At their own perils.
Experience plays the main factor. There are pilots out there who were lucky enough to start early in their careers, and built a lot of time doing this type of work(precision long line) who could probably strap themselves into a S-64 and have no problem? I know one hydro pilot in his late 40’s with over 10K hours, who could put anyone to shame with a 100ft long line, but would much rather fly a light helicopter(AS-350) single pilot, than a heavy with a big crew.
