The role of helicopters as ambulances Air


The most obvious reason that there is first the ability or VTOL Vertol, which stands for Vertical Take-Off and Landing. Although the helicopters were invented in the 20 th century, the idea was first conceived by Leonardo da Vinci in the 15 th century, which has defined as 'air screw'. Helicopters can fly and land vertically, eliminating the need for a runway like an airplane with wings. This unique feature allows the helicopter to hover and access many areas impossible.

Helicopters as air ambulances have significantly increased the percentage of seriously injured victims to be saved because of the lifesaving equipment prepared on the helicopters and the air speed generated by helicopters to reach the nearest health facility. The universal ability to fly a helicopter makes them favorable among many military transport and emergency services. The helicopter is the most iconic Huey Bell UH-1 designated "Iroq", which serves as the main transport aircraft during the Vietnam War in the '60s. This helicopter was the star of many popular films of the Vietnam War-themed like the Tour of Duty, and We Were Soldiers. Besides serving its purpose as a lightweight platform assault, were the main culprits as "Medivac" or medical evacuation, much like a helicopter air ambulance, if not with bullets flying past (and through) them.

In more peaceful times, the helicopters are distributed throughout the world as air ambulances. These modern helicopters' are essentially flying hospitals. Because of their nature, rescue people from remote areas inhospitable, far from any hospital, must be fully equipped to provide first aid treatment to those in medical need for transport to the nearest take. This only escalated the cost of operating these helicopters. A large helicopter with that level of equipment, single-rotor, twin turbofan engine producing 1,500 SHP, it consumes about-80 imperial gallons per hour, approximately 320 liters of aviation fuel. The price of these a helicopter (ambulance typical) with life support equipment will make to U.S. $ 5,000,000 upwards, depending on the type and level of the equipment.

The man made engineering marvels in the last century, the helicopter is undoubtedly one of the most important, especially in the noble role of saving humanity during emergency operations .......
