Muito show! O girocóptero não estola por velocidade, pousa e decola curto e tem um baixo custo de aquisição, consumo e manutenção (diferentemente de um helicóptero). Seria excelente para o resgate rápido em rodovias!
If you look closely you'll see that there was no door behind the pilot side of this Gyroplane. So I guess there is no room for an attendant. Too bad, this would have met quite a few requirements that a helicopter fills at a fraction of the cost.
Gyroplane s are significant ly cheaper and safer and easier to fly,. They use much less fuel and can take off from unprepared paddock s and land in tiny spaces. So a fixed wing aircraft needs a prepared strip at both ends. A helicopter fully equipped is probably close to a million a GA aircraft would need a proper airstrip as medical transport for a stable patent this would be a good choice much quicker and cheaper than tying up an ambulance for country town to city transport. Obviously not a replacement for medical emergency thougg
One more thing look up dead man's curve in a helicopter. Engine failure in gyro ease stick forward maintain airspeed and land with a foot or two ground roll. Rather than pull stick back bottom the pitch then try to dive to gain back rotor speed and glide and land so long as you had enough Hight + or airspeed. You pay a massive price to hover.
The flight went so well somehow the evacuee healed on take off and he decided to film as they flew around then the pilot returned to the same airport . I know it's only a show or a pub but really
É a primeira vez que vejo um socorro parar para dar um passeio de girocoptero, e depois embarcar-lo novamente na ambulância para levar no hospital pois esse aparelho não tem capacidade de descer num heliponto
Maybe as an inexpensive non-critical medical transport, but what if the patient seized in flight? I don't see room for a paramedic inside. I love gyros, but helicopter for the win.
@@cameronlapworth2284 Excellent. I haven't come across them, and you don't share a link, but I will take you at your word. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge gyro fanboy, and think that Cessnas and the like should be selling for pennies as people realize the awesomeness of gyros to fixed wing aircraft. But even though you can land in feet, and jump takeoff, the helicopter can land in rougher weather and doesn't need any runway to land. Still have to give the overall advantage to helicopters.
@@digitalranger4259 look up goening hawk? Gyroplane s and helicopter s are equally good in rough weather as both share similar dynamics around high wing loading, and articulated rotors. Basically both have to compensate for the difference in advancing and retreating blade airspeed which is always double the forward airspeed. They do this by teetering or flapping hinges so the advancing blade lifts washing off angle of attack while the retreating blade dips gaining a of a. This means that any difference in lift is automatically balanced across the disk. This was pressed home to me when I had been flying gyro for a few years and was offered a flight in the ultralight I'd training in. I took off and we hit a thermal under one wing and I sat there tilted the pilot said are you going to level it, I did then it happened again and again and Im thinking why aren't I compensating. Anyway I went flying in my gyro and realised I'd hit a thermal the gyro would slowly pick up the lift but didn't tilt so you don't touch the stick and it never pitches up down left right. You can get the vertical stabiliser yaw left or right but no bank or pitch (however I did have correct downthrust on the motor). I've flown in winds that had all fixed wings at my airstrip unable to fly I just took off across the strip and landed vertically from again the width of the strip (we had no cross strip) a couple of pilots almost cane unstuck when the winds where even weaker. So no real difference in handling between helicopter s and gyros in rough weather.
@@shawnwright5332 oh yes they Goering brothers aviation hawk 4. czcams.com/video/XCEYfW8DyxQ/video.html Mate I've flown gyros since ny early 20s built, flown and even instructed in gyrogliders. I wouldn't describe myself as an expert but I'm familiar with what's around. There was even a tip jet composite chopper/gyro hybrid (could take of and land as a chopper or gyro). Flew in forward flight as a gyro. Carried about 30 or more people fairly rotordyne. Google it. Interesting aircraft.
Well, yes and no. I haven't priced this model, but similar models are about the same price as a luxury car (less than $150,000), and I'm guessing this is comparable. Airplanes in that price range are rare, and airplanes that are large enough to transport a patient at the price range are nonexistent, unless very old and in need of a great deal of regular maintenance. Too, in sustained winds of 35-45 knots or greater (not uncommon in mountainous regions, for example, or on the coast), the gyroplane can take off and land vertically in most instances. An airplane can't do that, either. Some autogyros cruise at 90 to 120 knots. The one in this video cruises at 102 knots. That's plenty fast enough to get a patient from point A to point B, again, in most situations. I used to fly in Medevac Hueys when working EMS decades ago, they can go faster but are also limited in when and where they can take off and land. They also cost well over 10 times more. They could be ideal for flying a non-trauma patient, too, for treatment in a remote facility, and do so with regular high test gasoline, rather than aviation fuel, which is also a monetary advantage. Both helicopters and planes serve their purposes, and they gyroplane can be a practical third option.
A gyrocopter can do a vertical landing and virtually vertical takeoff (15-20 feet) , the pilot was either "taking it easy" or simply did not have a powerful enough engine to feel comfortable doing such maneuvers . Compared to the cost of a helicopter , putting a more powerful engine in this and a few hundred hours of pilot training to learn to get the most out of it , would still be a bargain. If this has even a chance of reducing health care costs , it is worth thoroughly investigating .
That gyrocopter is not engineered for vertical take off landing the hawk 4 passenger is but is no longer made as well as the gyrhino which was never produced for the public all other gyrocopters need runway to take off and land fact!
No need for "a few hundred hours of pilot training." New pilots solo Gyros in the same amount of time as the average new fixed wing pilot .. around 10 to 15 hours. Granted.. a brand new pilot is not going to be flying gyro ambulances, and a commercial ticket is needed, but it does not take the hundreds of hours a helicopter does.
Ya I do think anyone about to die would choose to have to take off and land at an airport then go to a hospital. Unless hospitals start building runways instead of helipads.
Yea but for half the world's poorest countries this is a life saving alternative that can be offered when no money is available for the very expensive helicopter program!!!!
A real helicopter lands at the hospital directly and has room in the back for paramedics to work on the patient to keep them alive till they get them into the emergency room. I'm not sure what this silly thing accomplishes. Ambulance to airport-airport to airport- ambulance to hospital. They are dead by now.
I love this application but there doesn't appear to be enough room for a medic to take care of the poor injured guy! I wouldn't think this is a viable solution for medical needs until they add some room and another person.
Really your state cannot afford a helicopter rescue squad you're going to need a couple more ambulances after that thing crashes those are very undependable and dangerous as hell
It's not an operating room. Preliminary preparations should be accomplished in the ambulance or by emergency medics before the Gyro arrives to help sustain life in route. The medic on board can perform life sustainable procedures and the Gyro can have augmentation equipment to enhance saving survivors life's until advanced procedures can be administered in the emergency room or more advanced clinics or hospitals.
I guess if I'm unconscious I'd ride in a gyrocopter; if I'm awake it'll only be a helicopter or a fixed wing!.. never understood why people still use em
I am a medflight RN. Been so for years and this is a waste of time and energy. First of all if a PT was non critical there would be no need to fly, they could go by car or ambulance. If they are bad enough to be flown somewhere then there should have been a nurse in there with them. If a PT chose to fly instead if they were no critical why would they have to be on a stretcher, why can't they set in a normal set and fly? Seems all silly to me and also life indangering
How much does a fully equipped ambulance cost? How fast can it drive? And how long is it tied up (not able to respond to an emergency) if it has to drive someone to a hospital 200km away? In country medical transport this would be cheaper than an ambulance. Person might have spinal injury or need to be flat so normal car might not be suitable. And this is as cheap to run as a car and much much faster, not just physically, but also because it flies straight there. 100mph cruise in straight line maybe only 130 km compared to 200 on road on mountain s or hilly country even better,. And in country with 100km/hr speed limit, this would be much quicker.
¿qué tiene de especial? Es un autogiro o girocóptero, y fue inventado en 1923 por el español Juan de la Cierva. What is special about it? It is an autogyro or gyrocopter, and was invented in 1923 by the Spanish Juan de la Cierva
Só o piloto e paciente .não cabe médico enfermeiro ou socorrista pra prestar socorro ser o paciente tiver parada cardíaca .não vi vantagem nenhuma nesse avião
So they took the man out of his bed and shuffled in in an ambulance then to a gyro to put him back to the ambulance ad back to the hospital : hope he got a rebate from his medical bill…
Currently the drive non critical patient s in a ambulance s that cost more than this aircraft by about $50000 it ties up the ambulance for hours both ways. This is flying at 80-100mph cruise faster than can be driven on the roads in my country,. It fly's in straight lines so even if dropped off and picked up by ambulance at each end this is cheaper faster and much smoother compared to both road ambulance and fixed wing even in strong turbulence.
@@cameronlapworth2284 You missed my point. I was simply being humored by the fact they had a man who was there to demonstrate and he played the sick man. As for the effective efficiency of the real thing … I will not venture on technicalities I have no notion about… Cheers.
Actually in WW2 they tried to mock shooting one down with a spitfire (get gun camera footage). They couldn't get it in their sights it would turn on the spot and they'd over shoot. The German U-boat s had fold up glider version s that they assembled on the deck and towed behind when on the surface at 1000 ft to spot enemy ships in the distance.
Well, it's his own FAULT, if you ask me. He went to the ticket window at the airport in some small, but charming, town in southern France, and demanded the cheapest flight between there and Paris, and he wanted it now! So they gave him this!!! OK, I'm joking. I think this is a demonstration of the use of a gyrocopter as an emergency vehicle. Seems to work pretty good.
@@MrKnutriis ha ha! 😁 Just looked at it again and there was an attendant behind the pilot but there seemed to be very limited access to the patient. A very cheap medivac Gyroplane would seem very attractive to some nations.
In Augsburg, a city in Germany, there is a theater for kids called Augsburger Puppenkiste (Augsburger Doll box) and they have a story about a robot called Robby and a boy named Tobby and his FliWaTüt (Robby - Tobby und das FliWaTüt) and this thing is looking like a FliWaTüt and it is simply something to play but nothing to fly with! I wouldn't like to fly with this thing! Thank God for my Boeing 747-400 which I fly! Lovely greetings from Sarah 🤣💖🙋
What if that patient suddenly starts to have a seizure in mid air... who's suppose to take care of that emergency, The pilot?... This video is just a gimmick! That aircraft isn't suitable for those jobs! FAIL! 👎🏾
In that configuration, it's a three-seat Gyro. Medic is seated behind the pilot to monitor the patient, defib's, saline bags, etc. It's not a flying operation room. It's an emergency transportation vehicle in route to a trauma center, or you can stand by the road and thumb-a-ride. Of course, you can wait several weeks for the next buck-board going to town every other week, or month for supplies!!!
Alright, get in a car, if you have one, drive through traffic or get in the Gyro. It's your choice to live or die. Common sense says, get to help ASAP. Oh, yeah, you could always thumb a ride, you jackass!!!!!!
If that was affordable...my kind of affordable.. I'd own one.

Please save me from ever having to do that!
Makes me grateful to have flown on UH-1's and UH-60's!

It's probably because,

& if you use "the lance", all of the puss comes out 😊😀😁😂😂😃😄😅

It's an autogyro and they have been around since the 1920s. So, how is this a big deal?
What the hell is that? The guy left Brazil to deal with the Assorted ???
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Very good, that one!
If chopper is danger,imagine a gyro,crazy people plane...
With proper training and experience known for a fact safest way to fly period or just google it yourself
@@shawnwright5332 Yup!
Does anyone hear the MASH tv theme in the background.?
No, because this is not a helicopter.
XENON , лучший из гириков .
beautiful !
I guess if I'm unconscious I'd ride in a gyrocopter; if I'm awake it'll only be a helicopter or a fixed wing!.. never understood why people still use em
Cause they're cheaper, easier to fly and safer.
And of course the visibility out the "cockpit" rivals a freaking jetpack.
Because they are safer than both if flown correctly. Easier to fly than a chopper,. Excremely safe in rough weather and cheaper.
I am a medflight RN. Been so for years and this is a waste of time and energy. First of all if a PT was non critical there would be no need to fly, they could go by car or ambulance. If they are bad enough to be flown somewhere then there should have been a nurse in there with them. If a PT chose to fly instead if they were no critical why would they have to be on a stretcher, why can't they set in a normal set and fly? Seems all silly to me and also life indangering
How much does a fully equipped ambulance cost? How fast can it drive? And how long is it tied up (not able to respond to an emergency) if it has to drive someone to a hospital 200km away? In country medical transport this would be cheaper than an ambulance. Person might have spinal injury or need to be flat so normal car might not be suitable. And this is as cheap to run as a car and much much faster, not just physically, but also because it flies straight there. 100mph cruise in straight line maybe only 130 km compared to 200 on road on mountain s or hilly country even better,. And in country with 100km/hr speed limit, this would be much quicker.
¿qué tiene de especial? Es un autogiro o girocóptero, y fue inventado en 1923 por el español Juan de la Cierva.

Só o piloto e paciente .não cabe médico enfermeiro ou socorrista pra prestar socorro ser o paciente tiver parada cardíaca .não vi vantagem nenhuma nesse avião
Are this plane to noisy to the patient
That was a crash dummy. Still, ear protection should have been applied in this scenario.
Did you people not read "category, comedy."
So they took the man out of his bed and shuffled in in an ambulance then to a gyro to put him back to the ambulance ad back to the hospital : hope he got a rebate from his medical bill…
Then he must be paid as supporting actor !@Viggen
Currently the drive non critical patient s in a ambulance s that cost more than this aircraft by about $50000 it ties up the ambulance for hours both ways. This is flying at 80-100mph cruise faster than can be driven on the roads in my country,. It fly's in straight lines so even if dropped off and picked up by ambulance at each end this is cheaper faster and much smoother compared to both road ambulance and fixed wing even in strong turbulence.
@@cameronlapworth2284 You missed my point.
I was simply being humored by the fact they had a man who was there to demonstrate and he played the sick man.
As for the effective efficiency of the real thing … I will not venture on technicalities I have no notion about…
Cheers.
@@vincent7520 no probs
What's next? The fighter version?

Actually in WW2 they tried to mock shooting one down with a spitfire (get gun camera footage). They couldn't get it in their sights it would turn on the spot and they'd over shoot. The German U-boat s had fold up glider version s that they assembled on the deck and towed behind when on the surface at 1000 ft to spot enemy ships in the distance.
Now hospitals need a runway
Imagine if the guy had a seizure and kicked around the inside of that craft? Oh well, there goes the patient and the pilot
That's why it has front door, the pilots could easily dump the patient outside in case of emergency
That is why the patient is strapped to the gurney.
Seems fine if you have plenty of runway coming and going. That being said, likely not much use in an urban environment.
They can land within 6 feet.
So, which kind is more capable at landing on shortest stretch of landing strips and efficient ?
it is a cool aircraft, but not for the advertised use.
No entiendo por qué toma pista para despegar si no tiene alas...
Well, it's his own FAULT, if you ask me. He went to the ticket window at the airport in some small, but charming, town in southern France, and demanded the cheapest flight between there and Paris, and he wanted it now! So they gave him this!!! OK, I'm joking. I think this is a demonstration of the use of a gyrocopter as an emergency vehicle. Seems to work pretty good.
Space force contractor!
I didn't see an attendant in the Gyroplane.
Horatio Jones the patient acts as copilot
@@MrKnutriis ha ha! 😁
Just looked at it again and there was an attendant behind the pilot but there seemed to be very limited access to the patient. A very cheap medivac Gyroplane would seem very attractive to some nations.
Con lo que tardaron en ponerlo al helicoptero ya hubieran llegado al hospital por la autopista 🛣 😁😁😂😂💩💡🤦🏽
Why is this categorized as comedy?
Socorrer paciente sem médico é o fim.
Who changed the patient?? :)
In Augsburg, a city in Germany, there is a theater for kids called Augsburger Puppenkiste (Augsburger Doll box) and they have a story about a robot called Robby and a boy named Tobby and his FliWaTüt (Robby - Tobby und das FliWaTüt) and this thing is looking like a FliWaTüt and it is simply something to play but nothing to fly with! I wouldn't like to fly with this thing! Thank God for my Boeing 747-400 which I fly! Lovely greetings from Sarah 🤣💖🙋
LOL. "Girl" claims to fly.
No way.. Ride me at ambulance in rush hour.. But never in this
Why with proper training experience it is known to be the safest way to fly period
C’est moins cher qu’un hélico, c est sur
SAMU autogiro ambulance in SPAIN.
What if that patient suddenly starts to have a seizure in mid air... who's suppose to take care of that emergency, The pilot?... This video is just a gimmick! That aircraft isn't suitable for those jobs! FAIL! 👎🏾
In that configuration, it's a three-seat Gyro. Medic is seated behind the pilot to monitor the patient, defib's, saline bags, etc. It's not a flying operation room. It's an emergency transportation vehicle in route to a trauma center, or you can stand by the road and thumb-a-ride. Of course, you can wait several weeks for the next buck-board going to town every other week, or month for supplies!!!
German registration!
Y cual era la gravedad del paciente o es solo una demostracion
That's Awesome!
So falto agilidade nessa simulação, todos parecia que tava dormindo
Flew one ,no biggie
Muito bom esse girocóptero!
Too slow for medevac missions.... 80kn.... Runway is also needed.... Helicopters more useful....
Florian Karl yes and 6 to 10 times as expensive to buy and use.
Well almost there it's better than nothing
Alright, get in a car, if you have one, drive through traffic or get in the Gyro. It's your choice to live or die. Common sense says, get to help ASAP. Oh, yeah, you could always thumb a ride, you jackass!!!!!!
Oh boy..........
One pilot.. No onboard paramedic?
Gyroplane good👍
