Helicopters have made a huge difference to expeditions on Everest. Not only do helicopters now bring supplies in and out of Base Camp, they are also used to evacuate sick climbers, and sometimes for rescues a bit higher up the mountain. But why can’t climbers be rescued above Camp 2 at 6300m? And why is it so dangerous to fly up there?
Flight Physicist Sophie Robinson explains how helicopters fly and why there is a limit to how high they can go. She also tells us about advances being made that could improve helicopter performance.
