Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
FYI: Crusing altitude of commercial airplanes is 40,000 feet. That's ~12km. Mount Everest is about 8.5km high.
Air pressure up there is about one third that of the Earth at sea level. That means there's one third as much air for the helicopter to push down to generate lift.
Dats cheating!
