World Record - Mount Everest AS350 B3 landing 

@@pankourlaut what to click

@@UsamaKhan-cj7kg it's a joke making fun about clickbait news articles and links

@@UsamaKhan-cj7kg and you fell for it apparently lol

The Sherpa bought 20 and charge USA$20,000 for the ride.

@@blindandwatching Smart sherpa.

Simply Tuned try months😂

ho chi with no preparation at all? So yes, monds or years

Simply Tuned haha, true dat. I'd be like "yoo, I'll give you 5 grand for a ride back down"

They need weeks to acclimatize.

You show up to Everest base camp with 4 days to make it to the top, let us know how that goes.

Lmao This Was any % Exploits run.

Lmao😂😂

but he clearly missed the "nearly frozen do death" achievement

Why is it hard to believe, not very difficult to do.

@@chippyjohn1 Yeah, it only took 66 years to achieve since the invention of the helicopter, easy peasy.

@@JohnSmith-hn6kv 😂

Moreover he did it twice in a row, on May 14 and May 15, 2005 !!!!

@@JohnSmith-hn6kv The record was set well before this. Do some research.

🤣🤣🤣 me too

Mee too😂😂😂

That's what I freaking thought...too🛩

Мужик Казбунда well, the Airbus AS350 was originally the Eurocopter Écureuil (French for squirrel).

Just ask virgin air they will make your dream come true

But no real landing at all...sorry, just a fly by, but no Landing!

@@andregattodrummer you cant actually land there

The Tesla version of this will come with a rope ; it will set to autopilot when you climb out of it. Its an upcoming glorious entry indeed.

@@andregattodrummer you can literally SEE the skids touch down on the summit.

@@DonMrLenny Right. Its impossible. The summit is mostly snow and no flat surface. The heli would fall down

Fredo Bull no man that was pretty clever

@@ForgotFuckIt Space Pirate! My man! Fredo can't help sound angry. His anger makes up for his lack of intelligence and his micro-sized manhood.

Elaine Arruda - Great comment and true. 😂👍🍻

😂😂

I was thinking about the great rescue pilots at Lukla, able to get to Camp 3; just being in awe of this new machine. God only knows the age of the Lukla rescue copters.

The music seems very similar

Hahahhahahhahahaha :'D

awwww fuck I climbed the wrong mountain LMAO

it i smount everest i see but i think weather was suitable.inal situation during avalage it is not possible i think to rescue and thats why we hear that above 6500 meter is not paossible to rescue

holy crap!! almost died laughing here! bwahahahaha!!

@@GZA036 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pilot is ballsy n lucky Tha day,the storms on Everest are unlike anything you can comprehend..Everest is its own storm..

no updraft when he took off sheer power

That is not landing. The front right side of his Landing gear touched the snow gently

@@LeonSKennedy7777 you would be insane to shut her down there, or have a pilot exit for any reason.

@@cmm3338 certainly the engines should not be shut down… it’s the best weather of the year & he is wearing oxygen, so perhaps a passenger (if a 2nd passenger’s weight could be accommodated) could’ve opened the door & just put their foot down… but this Airbus is probably more akin to an airliner with a pressurized cabin making such a thing impossible.

climbing? Flying yes, climbing no

@@captaindoeverything climb verb (RISE) to go up, or go up something or to the top of something: [ I ] We climbed to the top of the hill, where we had a great view. [ T ] She climbed the stairs to the third floor. [ I ] The plane is still climbing and will level off at 33,000 feet technically the OP is correct.

summit*

@@TwoFingeredMammanot as impressive by hand and foot tho! Do the hard yards, get the title

We have most advanced ships and still people take great pride in winning swimming competition. People even cross english channel by swim.

Randy Brady really? Are you really sure?

@@babineaux. After 30 years in search and rescue I am not sure about anything.

All that can destroy you in an instant hauling tourists around Hawaii, so what?

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.

I was thinking that, any malfunctions and it's a one way trip, it's not like anyone's going to come and get ya.

That's why they have massive rotars

or maybe next rescue beyond border you mor....

Why not ? 🐣

Japanese vending machine.

Trick Shots Swag there already is, I had a happy meal there last week.

Trick Shots Swag 🤣🤣

Bassem Boustany quadcopters are better

Yeah I love my little quadcopter :D but they don't scale up well. You can't easily have a helicopter-size quadcopter.

Me too...

Quadcopters are unsafe. Helicopters can autorotate if the engine fails, hexacopters can just shut Another engine down to remain balanced and return to home. But what happens if only one of the 4 motors of a quadcopter fails? It looses control and crashes -.-

if you love it, why dont you marry it.

I'm afraid they may flatten mt everest summit to make a big helipad a few years from now.

That will not happen because alpinists are in it for the natural drug called adrenaline and would want to get their fix the hard way :)

Just take one of the guided tours. 800 trips every year. Remember to take four bottles of oxygen. Nice to have when standing in queue behind the 130 others. That's the trick nobody tells you.

@@tarikay93 the people on the queue are not alpinists

​@@fuglbirdI realise this comment is 3 years old but I'll reply for anybody who's reading this: even though on certain days there is a lot of traffic, and most climbers do of course have oxygen tanks, it's still a pretty amazing achievement. One must give credit to the sherpas who made it all possible, but thinking about crossing the Khumbu Icefall for instance gives me shivers.

Must have been a Very Calm and Cold day too : )

in a Ronald Mcdonald suit sipping a cappucino decaf

going from low altitude to that high, he gets out of heli for 10 mins he would die

This is the FIRST time a helicopter made it that high. Literally, one step at a time…

He should have got out and done the tiktok dance 🤣

Then who'll bring back the chopper.... LOL

Wow 😳

Man cannot do anything. They can try but they can’t.

Imagine being on an airliner at commercial jet height and seeing one of these breaking this record! 🤘

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Frank M goes without saying :-)

hotel better have a descent pool...or im not going.

Yes and iris pub too

an oxygen bar would do quite nicely 👌

Why so salty nigga

Fucking dhoti

+Mickey Bitsko why not

+aflaks Are you serious?

+Mickey Bitsko Actually, what I've read is that Everest grows around 2.5 inches higher each year, so every landing would be a new record.

makes sense in that context

+Mickey Bitsko Land a helicopter on Olympus Mons ;-)

This was absolutely amazing. setting a worlds record, on everest, and on your fathers birthday. i can imagine climbers when they reach the summit, glancing around then noticing a helicopter skid imprint in the snow. first words, errm okaaay?

Didier be like who dis?

@@psychward2315 Didier D'Salle. He was one of Eurocopeter's test pilots, later, Chief Test Pilot, possibly known as Aerospatiale back then. A very personable guy and a wizard with a helicopter!

Yes. I've been in a AS350 squirrel in Nepal but we could only get to around 12k feet....

shhhh ...otherwise ben and jerry will get ideas

I have read they flew up there twice just to prove that the first time hadn't been just luck.

Maull Sin Contac like Messner did with the first no oxygen climb?

@@cormac8276 I didn't know about that

@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor messner did repeat his climb. Although it was more because people didn’t believe him.

And all this published? Authenticated?

I agree. Its like pee on top of a tree and tell me its raining.

and land where? it was visible there was not enough space for stable landing, only for touching the peak. if he got out the heli would slide off

I think the camera did rolls

LOL :)

That's a great idea! If the future will be robots may as well create one which is designed to help tourists up the super high mountains.

Hill?

If your over 20ft altitude, your in trouble with an engine failure.

Randy Torgerson Not really. Every Helicopter pilot learns to master the skill of auto rotation.

Mike Smith One should always train for the worst. Smart pilots will learn that Mastering or at least knowing how to auto rotate their aircraft is fundamental if you want to fly at all. You never know what may happen, so it's always best to prepare for the worst.

VT ViewfromtheTurret there’s a spare in the boot it would be just ridiculous to not have & with the altitude there’s just enough time2 bolt the new one in. U cretin

Autorotation is a wonderful thing but you still need a safe place to land. I don't think there is plenty flat areas around Mount Everst

Nipun Kothare

dont bother, putin has allready been there with a tank, no big deal. but the latest is that kim jong un has landed a jet liner on the summit and he will now open a korean dumpling restaurant there

this mountain is very tall but in my country we have much taller mountain

Next up would be a subway getting there!!

No I heard it was dirt bike

Sounds like a tall tale to me!

Felix Baumgartner jumping from the air balloon 100,000+ feet in the air was pretty unbelievable.

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.

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.

@@thepainphantom[Were] you mad [when you wrote this], bruh?

@@avgeekviolinist It's just basic physics. Ofc I'm mad and you're not.

Should be able to rescue people from C4 at least though, right? Why aren't there frequent helicopter rescues?

anymore weight in his helicopter and its a no go

@@tylermorris9196 imo quite possible with some diet (same as for sports cars - composites, titanium parts etc.) you could probably shave it so you could carry a passanger

@@RandomTheories yeah, but You'll need at least two people in the heli - pilot, and some dude who would go out to pick up somebody. Second dude would need some equipment to go outside of the heli and the weight goes up and up... AAAND prob most important - maybe it would be possible on the summit, with help of some fellow climbers, yeah, but 99% of fatal accidents on everest happens in way more difficult locations on the mountain.

This is illegal and deeply offensive to nepali peoplw

@@vishumagar6848 For telling someone I admire them for being a skilled pilot and he would have got permission to do this. Here's what's offensive to Nepali People. Shut the fuck up Vishu!

actually airplanes fly higher than that so...

Highest? If you land on the Moon you will be higher, I guarantee you … 🤡

It's actually Aérospaciale that developed it and it was produced by Eurocopter. Airbus produces it too now but only since 2014 and this footage is 9 years older :). Even the pilot is French here, damn a little bit of pride feels good.

Baphomet, "well deserved..", your countrymen have been great discoverer's, inventor's & practitioner's of modern science, since it's berth.

Hello Baphomet, yes and no, Aerospatiale merged with DASA and becomes Eurocopter which has been just renamed in Airbus Helicopters when EADS has been renamed Airbus Group.

@@airbushelicopters The Lama still holds 2 world records from 1972, you still have a ways up to 40,833 ft. Good Luck

🤦🏼‍♂️

Holy shit

Can´t compete with trains though. Nothing beat trains

Too funny lol

Who is writing shit is you!

kumar gulavita It was a production version with the empty seats removed and 1 hour of fuel. They also set time to climb records all the way to 33k’.

Absolutely .. we watched the rescue service documentary in Nepal and even in a highly modified chopper maximum altitude was about 6000 metres.. rescues above this height were done with Sherpas and sledges with ropes to descend to a lower altitude ... also there is a significant chance of HAPE/HACE at those altitudes

For those wondering, the T4 gauge is the combustion section of a turbine engine, where the real work is happening.

T4 readings was . 0488 and torque readings was.. .091 psi ,

@@andrewpaulstancer5704 wouldnt it make more sense to build like an mv 22 osprey but with jet engines instead of rotors? why has nobody made a helicopter style jet powered aircraft?

Clarkson would make some racist comment about a Sherpa and get pushed off the mountain.

Robert J. Williamson lol

Jerrod Corey at least someone is claiming www.fred-north.com/?page_id=338

Fred North broke that record in a AS350 B2 over South Africa in 2002 - 42,500 ft (12,954m)

That’s been broken lad . And I’m pretty sure it would be harder to land on Everest than to fly straight up 👍😂

" it would be harder to land on Everest than to fly straight up ..." Unpredictable winds near the summit - YES - but there is an IN-GROUND-EFFECT that makes high altitude landings much easier. It come from the compression of air UNDER the rotor blades caused by the ground - in this case the mountain top.

description never said "highest flight" altitude record.. it says take-off altitude record.. as in no one else has ever successfully taken off in a helicopter at ~8850m.. also, this is a bigger deal than a regular high flight altitude record because if a chopper can make it all the way to the summit, this better improves the odds of rescue for hikers in the future..

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

Updrafts made a different.

only modifications were seat removals (and other uneeded stuff), otherwise standard heli

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. Those blades have less and less dense air to bite into as it rises in altitude, so any additional weight would make impossible for rescue at the top of Everest.

Climbers don't need to die. They don't need to go there.

Don't ever say that it's impossible, Rumple Stiltskin, because you are likely to be proven wrong in that statement.

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.

its the journey they want to do, the risk of it. And if nobody ever died on the way, nobody'd think it was worth doing. Apparently its quite expensive money-wise too, and yet there is no shortage of people. Some years I've read its like they need an escalator up there. Whenever I hear of some climber who dies, I look for my little violin...they knew the risks. You pays your money and yous takes your chances.

they say the summit is about the size of a kitchen table

God let's hope not

Did they even touch (not very clear to me from the video)? I guess place is not even enough for landing..

The bible said all is vanity and thats what climbing everest is. The chopper is a complete humiliation for those who ignored the bible and sought glory in this world. At the top of that mountain is just some rocks and snow.

Probably an initiative for heli rescues in the future
