Die zweite Kamera ist außen unter dem Rumpf:
Selbstverständlich lassen die sich davon nicht beeinflussen.Helihunter schrieb:Ich bin sicher, dass die Mehrzahl der Käufer sich davon nicht beeinflussen lässt.
Sicher, warum sollte ich es nicht ernst meinen?Rotorhead schrieb:Das meinst du doch nicht ernst, oder? :?!
Das anti-collision-light besteht nicht nur aus der Birne, die oben aus dem vertical-stabilizer herausragt.
Die Kamera ist recht lang, und lässt keinen Platz für das anti-collision-light. Schau dir mal die nächsten beiden Bilder an. Das sind Bildausschnitte vom gleichen Photo. Also gleicher Maßstab.
Die Positionslichter sind ja schließlich auch noch drin. Und ohne Landescheinwerfer darf man tagsüber fliegen.
Werbebroschüren sind was für kleine Jungs und "Fans" wie wir es sind. Kein potentieller Käufer wird darauf reinfallen... ok, es mag Ausnahmen geben. ;)Rotorhead schrieb:...Trotzdem macht es sich gut in der Werbebroschüre für die B-3 wenn da steht „serial…“
Trotzdem würde ich mich verarscht fühlen, wenn Eurocopter irgendwann mal damit herausrückt: Ja, stimmt, es war ein serienmäßiger Hubschrauber. Nur das Triebwerk war nicht ganz serienmäßig. :p
...
Es geht hier um eine einzige Frage:
War die F-WQEX aufgemotzt?
Aha, um das anti-collision-light herum lassen sich also 32 Kameras anbringen.Helihunter schrieb:Sicher, warum sollte ich es nicht ernst meinen?
Aus was besteht das anti-colli denn noch?
Kein Mensch kommt auf die Idee und ist bereit die Kosten für 32 Kameras um ein Anti-Colli zu übernehmen. Also kann ich auch nicht mit einem Bild dienen. Aber wenn es jemand zahlt, dann bastelt EC da sicher etwas zusammen.Rotorhead schrieb:Aha, um das anti-collision-light herum lassen sich also 32 Kameras anbringen.
Also davon hätte ich gerne ein Bild gesehen.
Schau dir mal an wie lang und dick die Kamera unter dem Rumpf ist.
Da bleibt kein Platz für das anti-collision-light.
Und selbst wenn du recht hättest und das anti-collision-light wegen dem Gewicht ausgebaut wurde, stellt sich mir immer noch die Frage warum die Positionslichter am horizontal stabilizer noch drin sind.

der Hubschrauber wurde nicht modifiziert., Es handelte sich um eine reguläre Serienmaschine, die sonst in Frankreich von einem unserer Kunden für normale Charterflüge eingesetzt wird.
Allerdings war unser Pilot allein an Bord. Mit weiteren Personen oder auch umfangreicher Ausrüstung wäre der Hubschrauber zu schwer gewesen.
Ich füge ein paar Infos über den Flug bei. Fotos und ein Video finden Sie unter www.eurocopter.com/everest
Mit freundlichen Grüssen,

Govt seeks action against Eurocopter
KOL Report
KATHMANDU, Aug 12 - The government is preparing to ask concerned international civil aviation organizations to take action against Eurocopter for making 'false statement' about its landing atop Mt Everest.
"We are sending official letters to the International Civil Aviation Organization, French Civil Aviation Authority, International Federation of Airline Pilots' Association and Guinness World Records," said an official at the Ministry of Culture, Civil Aviation and Tourism on Friday.
He said that the government is approaching the international authorities as it is impossible for them to take action against Eurocopter from Nepal.
Eurocopter, a leading helicopter manufacturer of Europe, had claimed that its AS350B3 model helicopter successfully landed on top of the world on May 14-15 as per Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the FAI standards, something that it was not allowed to do.
"An AS350B3 piloted by the Eurocopter test pilot, Didier Delsalle, landed at 8,848 meters (29,035ft) on top of Mount Everest (Kingdom of Nepal)," "This tremendous achievement breaks the world record for the highest altitude landing and take-off ever, which sets an ultimate milestone in the history of rotary aviation." the Eurocopter said in a statement issued from Paris on May 24, soon after leaving Nepal.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), issuing a statement on June 2, had refuted the Eurocopters claim of landing on top of the Everest.
However, the Eurocopter issuing a separate statement on June 7 said that it regretted misunderstanding with the CAAN adding, “this Mount Everest landing and take-off feat has been performed under control of a FAI Official Observer and according to the FAI rules, i.e. “the touch down/take-off ensure that the rotorcraft maintains contact with the ground at least 2mn. ”
The Eurocopter had said that the permission given by the CAAN to its team was very clear and did concern ‘Everest High Altitude Heli Flight Test’, including landings and take-offs as per Eurocopter flight test programme given to CAAN in March 2005.
The CAAN had formed a committee to investigate of the said landing when it was only permitted to test fly over the Everest region.
Upon inquiry, the captain of the flight Didier Delsalle in a written explanation has said that it was impossible to land because of the adverse topography, the CAAN had said.
“Delsalle had only made emergency landing some 1000 meters below at the South Col due to bad weather and therefore the landing cannot be confirmed,” the statement said.
The CAAN had withdrawn the permission granted for the test flight in view of the sensitivity from the available information as the conditions of the flight were violated.
“The helicopter had not demanded permission for landing on the peak,” said the CAAN, “and therefore no permit had been given and such imaginary publicity by the Eurocopter is regretted.“
The government official yesterday said they had thoroughly checked all the documents, including CDs, but did not trace out any proof of the aircraft's landing on the summit.
Terming the move of Eurocopter as “unethical” marketing gimmick, the official said, “contrary to its statement in Nepal, the helicopter crew claimed in France that it landed on top of Mt Everest." (dds)
Eurocopter receives American Helicopter Society's World Record Trophy for Mount Everest Landing
Thursday, May 11, 2006 - Eurocopter
Eurocopter has been awarded the American Helicopter Society’s Igor Sikorsky International Trophy on May 10 in Phoenix, Arizona, for achieving the high-altitude world record with an AS350 B3 landing on top of Mount Everest in 2005. The Igor Sikorsky International Trophy was created in 1961 by Sikorsky Aircraft and is awarded annually to the company that designed and manufactured a pure helicopter establishing an official record during the preceding calendar year. The award was granted almost precisely one year after the world record was achieved in May 2005. Eurocopter is honored to receive this trophy and extends its thanks to the program team which designed and built this high-performance helicopter.
On February 14, 2006, the International Aeronautical Federation (IAF) had validated and confirmed the high-altitude world record achieved with a serial AS350 B3 on May 14 and 15, 2005, with two landings and take-offs on top of Mount Everest at 8,850 meters (29,035 ft.) altitude. Piloted by Eurocopter Experimental Test Pilot Didier Delsalle, the two flights included peak-over landings on the mountain’s peak both exceeding two minutes as stipulated by the IAF regulations.
Following experimental flights up to 8,992 meters in April 2004 and up to 10,211 meters in April 2005, this ultimate record of a helicopter was the fifth in a row for the AS350 B3:
Three "Time to climb" records on April 14, 2005, to the altitudes of:
* 3,000 meters in 2 minutes 21 seconds
* 6,000 meters in 5 minutes 6 seconds
* 9,000 meters in 9 minutes 26 seconds
* Altitude landing and take-off record on the South Pass of Mount Everest at 7,925 meters on May 12, 2005
* Altitude peak-over landing and take-off on the top of Mount Everest on May 14 and 15, 2005
Achieved with a serial helicopter, this absolute world record once more contributes to underline the qualities of the AS350 B3 Ecureuil/AStar as a multi-role, reliable, fast, and rugged workhorse. The most powerful variant of the successful AS350 Ecureuil/AStar series, the B3 is equipped with advanced systems such as dual channel FADEC, Vehicle and Engine Monitoring Display and integrated GPS. A total of 480 AS350 B3s are presently in operational
service worldwide, mainly performing missions requiring high performance, including "hot and high" missions and sling work (sling capacity of the B3 is 1,400 kg). It is powered by a Turbomeca Arriel 2B engine developing 847 HP.
Since the Ecureuil/AStar first flew on 27 June 1974, its characteristics have been constantly upgraded to improve performance and enhance safety. These ongoing improvements have progressively spawned a large family of helicopters that have been acclaimed by civil, military, and parapublic operators alike. The AS350 B3 made its maiden flight on March 3, 1997.
