| Description | Helicopter rescue messages appear almost every day. Not everyone is always aware that his options are limited by physical laws. How high can the helicopter rise, can it fly for Mount Everest mountaineers? Can we count it? And what about such an experiment? That there is little oxygen at high altitudes is generally known, but it is related to air pressure and only a few people know it. The pressure drop with the height is much higher than the general idea. To model the helicopter flight to high altitudes, we are able to experiment with a dron and a school vacuum pump. |
