Fishtail, a privately-owned airline, is the only company in Nepal providing high-altitude helicopter rescue, using a revolutionary technique pioneered by Swiss experts.
Does anyone know of this "revolutionary" technique? I won't be flying at 7000m, but am curious how to do it. Is the rotor system near stall in that thin air? Or, is reduced power the bigger challenge?
