The prototype of the Lama made its first flight on March 17, 1969. From the first test flights the pilots of the CEV put the aircraft on Mont Blanc, then made him easily reach the 9000 meters, an altitude where most of his American, Russian or English contemporaries could not put the blades. From the start, the Lama seemed to perfectly fulfill the conditions for which it was originally conceived. A second prototype was delivered at the end of 1969 to the ARC, the Aviation Research Center, the Indian CEV. It was in the hands of one of the pilots of this unit that in March 1970 a Lama landed twice at the summit of Everest. French and Indian test pilots recognized the qualities of the aircraft, which in addition was delivered directly with an oxygen mask system for the crew and passengers. India placed an immediate order for fifty aircraft before acquiring in 1972 the production license for 170 additional aircraft. Built locally by Hindustan Aircraft Limited (HAL) the Lama are designated Cheetah by the Indians. On 21 June 1972, a Lama with his only pilot on board (Jean Boulet) won an absolute altitude record for helicopter with 12,442 m. These performances are ideal for mountainous regions: the Lama can carry external loads of 1,000 kg up to 2,500 m altitude. Its universal undercarriage is still one of its assets: the pads, equipped with removable wheels for maneuvering on the ground, can be replaced by floats. Finally, an emergency device allows the Lama to float in case of need or accident.

Análisis del gráfico. En el gráfico del final de vídeo, representado por 2 ejes: 1 velocidad 2 altitud. Refleja que a Cero Altura como también alrededor de 2.130 Altura se produce 2 veces Cero Velocidad. Es decir, en Cero Altura hay 2 veces Cero Velocidad (paradas de velocidad) y también hay 2 veces alrededor de 2.130 Altura hay Cero Velocidad.

One silly question. Does it have a music system?

[@pepper669]

The rotor blades and the turbine are the music system.
