Helicopter Lands on the Summit of Mount Everest

- The First and Only Person to Land a Helicopter on the summit of Mount Everest was Didier Delsalle a fighter pilot and helicopter test pilot on May 14, 2005.
Climbers did not summit Everest for another week (21 May, 2005)--which is why there are no prayer flags, etc as the jet-stream winds and winter storms scours the summit removing anything from previous years.
___________
On May 14, 2005, at 07:08 NPT in the early morning (01:23 UTC), Delsalle set the world record for highest altitude landing of a helicopter when his Eurocopter AS350 Squirrel touched down on the 8,848 m (29,029 ft) summit of Mount Everest. The flight and the summit landing were recorded by multitude of cameras and other equipment to validate the record. After sitting on top of the world for 3 minutes and 50 seconds, Delsalle lifted off and returned to the Tenzing-Hillary Airport at Lukla, Nepal.
This accomplishment had required extensive testing on site, especially because of the low atmospheric pressure available for the helicopter rotors, winds over 299 km/h (186 mph) at these altitudes, and oxygen depletion for both Delsalle and his helicopter's engine. Delsalle had to find areas of downdrafts and updrafts to complete the flight, stating: "I found an updraft so strong that I could rise up with almost no power."
Delsalle repeated the Everest summit landing the next day, May 15, 2005, to prove that the previous day had not been simple luck. Conditions the second day were much more difficult, but Delsalle chose not to wait any longer so as not to squander the opportunity for 'conventional' climbers waiting to summit Everest during the limited good weather conditions available in May.
Delsalle used a virtually standard version of the Eurocopter AS350 Squirrel B3, only removing unnecessary elements, such as passenger seats, to reduce the standard weight by 120 kg (265 lb) and thus extend the 1-hour fuel range.

Wow. That chap is insane. I guess after the incredible helicopter rescue in 1996, in which a brave Tibetan pilot used his own helicopter that was presumably not as good as this one to bring an injured man down from base camp, they had a baseline to work from. Rotors and many helicopter parts were made from composites in the 2000s which had been metal in the 90s, cutting down a lot of weight, plus one person instead of two would've helped, and presumably his team also did a fair amount of computer modeling to figure out what was feasible. I notice he did a steep but controlled dive on liftoff from the peak- scary maneuver in a helicopter! In planes, you do that to avoid stalling, trading altitude for speed which provides more airflow over the wing and thus more lift once you level off. But an airplane wing has more surface area than a helicopter rotor to grab the air, plus there's so much less air to grab onto, I'd be afraid to try it for fear of not being able to come out of the dive.
TL;DR: Surprised the helicopter didn't crash from the weight of the pilot's *ahem*
actually, Colonel Madan Khali Chetri brought TWO men down from the Khumbu icefall, neither the Imax documentary nor the Hollywood movie depicts the full truth. The pilot hat to leave everything he had at the base camp, luggage, rear seats, even his co-pilot, to make it that high. when he arrived atop of the icefall in order to pick up Beack Weathers with his frostbitten hands, they had brought a SECOND climber with even more severe frostbite injuries to the helicopter - Makalu Gau. The Imax team guys wanted to put TWO climbers into the helicopter, but the Colonel insisted on only ONE. Selflessly poor Beck Weathers gave up his lifeboat seat to Makalu Gau, and when they had massive problems to get airborn again, Beck Weathers was sure that the helicopter would NOT be coming back. Beck thought that the was left to die a second time, but ten minutes later, very much to everyones surprise, the helicopter climbed up the icefall for a second time, now lighter on fuel. the pilot picked Becks up, they made a stopover at the base camp for Makalu Gau, and half an hour later they were at the clinic.
@@TheColinChapman that is correct, though I am uncertain where the pilot picked them up from. Was it camp 4?
Colonel Madan Chhetri is not Tibetian he’s Nepalese.
Thanks for the insight! 8321
@@h47acker I thought he was pakistani !
Kind of insane that his official record will NEVER be broke. There is literally no where else on earth at a higher altitude, so his record of "landing a helicopter at the highest altitude" can never be broken, only tied.
Maybe!
Due to plate tectonics Everest does get taller so the record can be broken. In fact it's taller now than it was when this video was taken.

@@ben-n-stephflyingcircus8281 Oh wow I didn't realize that. I actually thought it was slowly shrinking.
You could build a 1 meter tall platform on the summit and then it would be taller :D
@@pliubumas I'll build a 2 meter platform 🤣
This is wonderful. Now, if someone is at the summit and requires rescue, someone can hover over them for a few moments and let them know in person that there's no one coming to save their ass.
The weight is critical. For all I know this helicopter was reconditioned to reduce weight to the minimal, so it can't operate safely with two persons onboard at such altitude.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
But perhaps.... He could drop some supplies to save your ass.
The people needing rescued are not at the summit. They're either on their way up or way down. Big difference trying to rescue someone on the side of a mountain, especially with all the crazy wind shifts at Mt Everest.
This is the best route to the summit!
It makes sense to me. Air conditioning. Pressurised cabin. Hot tea. Donuts. Your partner in your arms. Parachute….
And the safest route down from it.
I didn't think this was possible
I'll take it 🤣🤣🤣
@@PetraKann parachute?
This guy just upped almost everyone to ever summit Everest. He did it in hours, in relative warmth, got the whole thing filmed from multiple angles, and was the FIRST!
This doesn't count until he step there
While landing was a feat in itself.. he was never on Everest.
@@Mtthyman Yeah and the boots you were wearing prevents you from actually touching the ground with the train of logic
@@justanobservation3423 spending a month and a half hoofing it up and down a mountain and a year if not year(s) of prep and training to stand on your own two feet at the highest point in the world. Isn’t the same and plopping a chopped up there for 45 seconds then to fly off. While it’s an impressive feat, but still I wouldn’t say he summited it.
@@Mtthyman but technically he did.
Did he climb everest? No.
what a lot of people don't know is that this can only be possible in the right and perfect weather conditions which is extremely rare up there .
Ohhhhhhh that makes much more sense
I was thinking I’ve seen hundreds of this helicopter before
And prop size.
But it's possible. That's all that matters.
Exactly. Gotta be the like ZERO humidity, an almost negligible amount of wind, and the temperature has to be darn near perfect. Too cold, and parts/liquids begin to freeze; too warm and the air molecules begin spreading out, which means the rotors/engines can’t work hard enough to create lift for the vehicle. It’s gotta be a crazy game.
Why'd it take 16 years for me to hear about this? Pretty awesome, didn't think it could be done so easily.
It it’s easy at all.
It wasn't easy
The weather have caused most deaths not the peak itself.
That's because it can't be done "so easily". That heli was stripped of all extra weight and weather conditions had to be perfect.
@@josesantana770 How would the peak itself kill climbers? Do people trip when they get to the top and fall down the other side?
Has to be one of the most under rated and incredible videos on TH-cam......
I'm an ex miltary and commercial helicopter pilot, with a career spanning 42 years and over 20K hours, but wild horses couldn't have dragged me into the helicopter seat for a stunt like that! Gonads of titanium would be the least of the requirements. When I was in my early twenties, I climbed an Alouette III to 20,000 feet and found that descending was quite terrifying, partly because of trying to prevent the rotor from overspeeding in the thin air. I wanted to get down quickly due to oxygen starvation, but using collective to control rotor speed reduced the rate of descent. I wonder if the pilot in this video put the helicopter nose down so steeply to overcome that problem. My guess is that his helicopter only hovered at the top of the mountain, to benefit from translational wind lift effect. Landing would have been extremely risky on the unknown surface beneath the snow and getting airborne again would probably have been impossible. Respect!!!
Those are some extremely light gonads
Great insight into how complicated that was since the pilot makes it look very easy in the video if you know nothing about flying a helicopter, thanks
I'm waiting for some video gamer to reply telling you how wrong you are............
Sounded like a pretty big loss of RPM at 4.04 and the pilot's head takes two looks at the gauges, then the shot flips to the outside view of him dumping the nose. That external shot was not at the summit.
@@mountjoy23 Not sure with my elderly ears, but that sound might have been the turbine spooling down as he lowered the collective while simultaneously lowering the nose steeply for a rapid descent. Letting the main rotor droop as well isn't something I'd want to risk. I've experienced just how unresponsive cyclic inputs to the main rotor become at great altitudes, say above 10,000 feet. Back in the day when gearboxes were less robust, I was wearing a paracute for high altitude work, like dropping free-falling special forces at night.
Pilot stated that he made use of strong updrafts to help him climb with almost no power. He repeated the feat the very next day to prove it was not a fluke.
I thought so when he was following the ridges. Gutsy.
Next, maybe a hang glider will do it.
@@savage22bolt32 I remember seeing that one, I think it was that guy bear Grills and a partner
Why do people feel the need to comment with info clearly stated in the description?
@@olsim1730 i dont reed the description, i appreciate those people :) broaden your perspective sometimes
I saw this a few years ago. It’s still amazing to watch.
So many years of planning of planning to make a video like this. Absolutely beautiful.
I am positive that in 1989 I read an article which said that some Americans landed a helicopter at the very top of Mount Everest. They took many pictures, and the story was published in Aviation Week magazine, which is where I read it.
You did not confuse it with the 1989 helicopter landing on Mount Ararat?
What a suicidal amazing feat….How much people cannot fathom how truly difficult it is to hover anything at that altitude
The only person in history to get to the summit, and not actually stand on it. Great achievement though. 👍
It would have been one giant steb for mankind!!
and not getting winded or breaking a sweat.
@@williamrainville5794 While your statement is tech. true that he did not get winded, keep in mind, he was being fed oxygen. And it is still possible he was breaking a sweat of nervousness lol
I have to commend that man for his courage and expertise in flying helicopters. That is unreal !! He must have nerves of steel. That is really amazing!! He obviously has a ton of experience as a fighter pilot and test pilot. The air is so thin up there. That's one hell of a helicopter !! Kudos !!
Compliment his machine, it did all the work.
Incredible feat! I used to fly helicopters no bigger than this in the Air Force and we used to regularly perform mountain flying training (much lower mountains). This was to simulate rescuing a casualty if needed. One manoeuvre practiced is touching down just one skid as due to the slope you cannot land in some places. This was followed by ‘going over the edge’ into a steep dive to pick up speed FAST literally a vertical dive useful in thin air. But our helicopters were a lot older than the Eurocopter! Superb flying Sir!
This was incredible to watch. Wow.
I can't help but imagine being at the top in desperate need of help and a helicopter just floats on in
What help..wanna climb? Get yer arse down as well..not worth risking other lives as pilots and at least 1 helper..smh
Notice the stripped out instruments. I doubt it could lift an additional person off the summit.
@@stephaniejoyce1650 I never said climbers would expect that the pilot helped anyone. I merely said I couldn't imagine needing it and happening to be on the summit the ONE time a helicopter floats in on Mt Everest.
@@petercraven7930 Yes, I did notice this detail. I also read the provided caption where it indicates how all unnecessary weight was removed for this trip.
@@stephaniejoyce1650 you're being way too serious in your response.
The summit looked so serene and magical... Great video
they raked it for full effects.
What is your picture? A torus?
@@douglasholden3169 😂😂😂
I almost unrecommended the channel because I was sure I would get clickbaited.
This was beyond epic.
I'm surprised this footage wasn't elsewhere on YT already. I'm also glad it's here now, thanks.
I’ve seen this quite a few times on YT
Wow , was waiting for this video
Amazing pilot, I was told that a chopper couldn't land on the top of Everest because the air was too thin. There you go, you learn something new everyday.
I heard it was because of the size and weight of the pilot's balls.
The pilot and the chopper are French…that’s why they didn’t make the headlines…
This is a very special chopper … it’s basically impossible for every other kind
You just blew my mind, didnt know this was possible
such great news.. thanks for sharing. hopefully future rescue missions will be possible and easier.
I heard this was possible due to unusual weather conditions on the summit that made possible for rotors to generate lift. Still Amazing.
A big Thank You to the pilots of Air Zermatt / CH 🇨🇭for training ( for free) and opening the Helicopter Rescue Squad of Nepal 🇳🇵
Aber da isch doch gern gsche, chunsch eifach mole verbie uf e drink!
Salü und bis bald
Was für ein wahnsinns Pilot. Der beherrscht seinen Job.Wunderschönes Video THX
Impressive, I had an occasion to fly in a very tiny chopper from Base Camp to Lukla Airport. It struggled to get airborne then spent more time flying sideways than anything else. The chopper brutalized by the winds would barely clear the trees on the upcoming ridge lines. The chopper would then be caught by the Everest crosswinds downdraft and sent plummeting sideways towards the shear mountain wall. Focused like a downhill ski racer the pilot would regain control and barely skim the next ridge line only to repeat the sequence. In our decent we plunged into valleys and chicaned between mountains through dense cloud banks so thick I couldn’t tell up from down, totally disoriented I just sat back, relaxed and waited.
"releaxed". Change of underwear at the end of it...
for a helicopter pilot it's something like spending the longest time in space as an astronaut... 👏🏻🚁
I did not know that this was possible.. Definitely a helicopter ride I would take..
It’s crazy how frozen solid that snow is. I figured the propeller would be throwing snow around all over the place when he touched down the way you see dirt flying everywhere when a helicopter comes down in a field or desert. I didn’t see even a tiny bit of snow flying around haha
That's because it warms up from the sun, melts then refreezes at night.
Helicopters do not have propellers.
Reminds me of doing the Denali missions with MicroSoft Flight Simulator X. Seeing the Chopper following ridge lines for updrafts seemed mandatory. A record that can be matched, but never broken.
We'll give it another thousand years - Chomolungma is still growing.
WOW, amazing. I once flew an H-57 ( Bell 206) over the Sierras. The Helo flew well but there was no way I could have landed if I needed to because there wouldn't have been enough power at those altitudes. The guy flying has balls for sure.
Just to let the help slip off the side of the summit . . . all downhill from there . . . just saying . . . lol.
seen this many times but always as impressed. Very brave pilot.
And thats the only way I'd be going to the summit of Everest...
IDK, I’m pretty sure taking a heli up like that is super dangerous also! I’m no expert but I think the weather conditions would have to absolutely perfect and the weight of even one passenger would prob render it impossible! It would be great if they could do for rescues near the peak but I don’t think they can (yet)! They are flying a drone on Mars with very little atmosphere but that thing weighs 4 pds.
@@dwmueller76 It's dangerous. I was super lucky to have a girlfriend whose dad would take me around the Mont Blanc in France/Italy by light aeroplane. No way was I going to refuse trips like that. But, the sudden and unexpected side winds can throw you around like a rag doll. You kept well clear of those rocks. Good memories though.
Ditto, that's the way to summit!
Wow I didn't think it was possible to get a helicopter up that high I wonder how much higher he could have went? Awesome video had to watch it again.
The chopper had trouble going that high carrying those giant balls. One hell of pilot
The balls joke seems everywhere now!

@@georgia3596 This video is 100% F A K E !

Siempre me había preguntado si un helicoptero podía llegar allí, gracias por responder mi duda 👍🏻🙂
Thanks and we are proud of our Sir Edmund Hillary🇳🇿👍
Record altitude for a chopper is held by the Aérospatiale SA 315 Lama
12,442m (40,820 ft)
no, record is Eurocopter AS 350 with 12.954 m
@@HailLuzifer ok. Thanks for that. Do you know which year that record was broken?
@@PetraKann 2002
Was set in 1972 by French aviator Jean Boulet.
This copter could possibly go higher. But with its design, you must inject oxygen at a high rate under the blades. It can go much higher than 30K feet.. Why no one uses it for this is beyond me. Once they publicly bring out anti-gravity craft, this could be done in seconds.
Wow, the engineers who designed and manufactured the helicopter are amazing!
French technology, French engineers, French pilot.
French cheese.
@@akseli9 The french engineers that put it together did a greate job indeed, but it was designed around an american engine and american avionics. The french engine only came later ;)
@@joostdriesens3984 :) with French red wine.
@@hernerweisenberg7052 ;)
I don't think it landed because there wasn't enough room. But he definately touched the snow with the front runners. Tremendous feat of piloting...........not many would dare to do it. But it is so tiny on the top.......a wonder more people are not swept off by the wind. Incredible to think that people can get down from there. Amazing. Briliant video, thank you.
They need this guy on every Everest expedition. Could help save many lives 🙏
He couldn't save anyone. You risk too many lives trying to save people that's why they don't do it.
So this was in 2005? Where have I been? wtf?
This man did what I always said I would dedicate my life to achieve. As opposed to climbing Everest.
Now, everybody else is clinbing Everest the hard way.
Never say something can't be done!
Congratulations, it was a blast!
🍻🥂
I had no idea this had been accomplished. Thanks.
This video is 100% F A K E !
3:37 Funny how the MOST important moment is blurred out, to disguise the peak that it actually landed on.
Awesome!!
i always thought helicopters had a height limit lower than that wow
It’s impressive, i don’t know how difficult it would have been to fly that high with helicopter.
amazing video !
Glad you liked it!
What an incredible feat. It's just so heart warming. Three cheers for those who made it possible. Human nature at it's best.
Absolutely!!!🍾🍾🍾
If there was a military interest in flying so high there would be choppers get up there on a regular basis.
You hit the nail on the head there, if the military had a need to fly so high it would of been done by now.
Thank you
thank you
This music soundtrack I’m just waiting for it to drop into the airwolf theme music 😂
That was amazing
That is absolutely CRAZY! I got butterflies in my stomach just WATCHING this amazing flight, and I’m laying in my bed.
Scientifically, my guess is that this type of HA landing would only be possible under ideal weather conditions- extremely low humidity at all elevations, warm enough that parts and lubricants don’t freeze but still cold enough that the air molecules don’t spread apart (ie when this happens, the engines/rotors have to work harder to create lift), etc. That said, I know the record for highest helicopter flight is over 42,000 feet, but there’s a big difference between that, and LANDING at elevation. Incredibly feat to watch.
I cant believe this.. How is this possible that the helicopter is so steady at such a height where wind speed is always very high
Impressive 29K feet plus about the length of two Hondas. The Eurocopter is an impressive machine still but it looked like he was using every trick in the book:
- single crew
- fuel likely near calculated minimums for the flight
- look like he was trying to pickup thermals
- Eurocopter is one of the fastest conventional turbo shaft helps in the world…
Just saying, he probably couldn’t have hovered that high all day out of ground effect.
Yeah other helicopters have a higher rated service ceiling than this one. For example the Mi-8 is rated at 5000m or so, while this eurocopter sits at 4500m. If they managed to push it up this high i don't see why it others could not if they tried.
Wow! Congratulations, you da'man!!👍
If helicopters could fly so high...I believe they can definitely help mountaineers with rescue operations at high altitudes.this can save so many lives.
Awesome. Congrats
i was always under the assumption that it was impossible to go that high in a helicopter.
How did it burn fuel and gain lift.?????My assumptions are identical to yours
Special oxygen injection engine and for the blades that cause uplift where as normal engines would choke themselves out and stall the craft.
@@chazbarns1410 I’m not a pilot of any kind ,but after reading comments from pilots who state that it’s near on impossible to get to the summit,,one of the comments stated something on the lines as what you said,,but a reply to that statement was with forced combustion with oxygen it would not be able to carry the amount of fuel to get to that altitude and back due to the weight..very confusing.
Incredible journey. Such a brave heart.
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho

Excuse my ignorance, but why is this so special, brave, heroic etc.?
Sure beats the hell out of climbing!😂

Didier Delsalle (born May 6, 1957, in Aix-en-Provence, France) is a fighter pilot and helicopter test pilot. On May 14, 2005, he became the first (and only) person to land a helicopter, the Eurocopter AS350 Squirrel, on the 8,848 m (29,030 ft) summit of Mount Everest.
😳😳🙀🤩Thank you for sharing
What an amazing flight for the pilot..
Everest: Speedrun Any% WR holder
Imagine taking all that effort to hike up there and this helicopter effortlessly flys out of the sky next to you.
Amazing!!!!
Amazing the Chopoer worked in that thin air!🤯
Imagine what would have happened if his landing gear had gotten frozen and he got stuck at the summit with likely no climbing gear and no other helicopter 🚁 to come to his rescue. 🏔
Imagine if the fuel lines froze or something, summit everest and shelter in an abandoned chopper!!
it would be down at the base of the mountain if the engine failed up there. It didn't actually land on the summit, but touched it. But yeah, imagine climbing all the way up and finding a wrecked helicopter on the summit.
@@madwax4771 so many "i shouldnt have survived" shows involve their rescue chopper crashing.. Flashbacks..
The likelihood of that happening isn't very high unless they attempted this in bad weather. The copter actually flew three thousand feel above the summit after it touched tracks on the summit. When you pump O2 and inject it under the rotors and blades it gets very good lift negating the thin altitude.
@@gwhite7136 very cool. Can you explain more about the system they use to negate the altitude?
@ Fred no dork
What a crazy gutsy maneuver. Absolutely insane.
Pushing the envelope right to the edge.Outstanding pilot.
I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.
Surely a radio controlled, and much lighter quad copter is the answer for rescue missions at very high altitudes?
But a light quad copter can't do anything useful (except scouting) and is very vulnerable to wind. You have to adapt it and then it becomes heavier. It might be possible but it will be complicated.
Wow that's amazing.. does this mean lesser deaths on Mt. Everest?!!! I am so happy.!! Well done.!!❤️👍🏻
The chopper can not take on anymore weight.
Not necessarily! Even this pilot could not have flown in the storm to rescue Rob Hall. Other deaths can happen too fast to get a helicopter up to the mountain, let alone land. You cannot count on being rescued on Mt. Everest! If you go, you risk your life, healthy or not. You have to go with the mental attitude that it is always a risk and you MUST get down on your own power. Those who get help are very lucky. The Sherpas are the best, but they can only do so much. The mountain has her own agenda.
@@mtngrammy6953 Chopper can do nothing on slopes where most of the climber get into trouble.
Its been nearly 20 year since they have had this technology, yet still they haven't used it for high altitude rescue. Totally unacceptable.
@@mtngrammy6953 Sure but Rob Hall sat up there in ideal flying conditions for two days after the storm passed. This copter could easily have rescued him had it been around 8 or 9 years sooner.
This is my first time hearing of this,Brave Men U are
Plenty of “Vanilla Ice Cream” there. Quite tempting. Thanks bro for the input. Will try to make it.😜😋
I want to learn much much more about this incredible feat. Is there a book?
Plenty of videos here on TH-cam.
imagine books in 21 hahaha
Read up on 'Density Altitude' and 'Aircraft Service Ceiling' - two concepts whose understanding will cue you in some of the challenges of the feat.
Most people don’t understand how helicopters fly… and just how hard this was.
To fly is heavenly
To hover is devine
I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.
Please explain how hard was it ?
Great job bro👊🤟🇺🇸
That’s crazy, how is such a amazing feat almost unheard of. Is it surely Everest summit and not some other 8k peak?
awesome
it looks like someone is there on top slightly left hand side 3:23
Yes ! Red colour jacket 😳
Also mount Kailash is visible
That was a cool flight. It’s too bad they can’t leave the helicopter behind for future mountain rescue.
Amazing

Well, I guess it’s official .. there is nowhere we can go to get away from aircraft noise.
Not true! There's still the Great Tibetan Plateau.

@@ciarrai3575 Good point, saw a video about that a few months ago.
Unfortunately 12 climbers who had just summited got blow off the mountain by the prop wash. I'm kinding...it was only 8 climbers.
