...Sooooo...Does anyone believe that 200 years from now we will be using manned helicopters for rescues?

Really?

There will be a time when the manned SAR capability is obsolete. Will it be in 200 years, or 100, or 50, or 20...

I don’t know. But I do know it’s coming.

It is inevitable.

It is unlikely we can replace a human to actually provide healthcare en scene in the next 2o years - we will use smart glasses etc to provide instructions (as I was doing by radio in 1982!!) but some medical procedures need a human.

The mode of transport is irrelevant to the health system as long as it is safe and fast and.....cheap. So if you can produce a safe drone that carries medical team and patient and is a dollar or pound cheaper you are onto a winner. Of course, you will need room for the additional person who often provides the grunt to load the patient....currently called the pilot
