The Biggest Airplane Ambulances in the World

If you are critically ill or injured and unable to safely travel on a commercial flight, an airplane ambulance becomes essential. These specialized planes provide the necessary level of care during transport, especially over long distances. They are particularly useful for patients who have fallen ill or been injured abroad and prefer to receive treatment in their home country, or for those in areas lacking adequate medical facilities and need to be quickly transported to better-equipped regions. These Airplane ambulances come equipped with advanced medical equipment capable of treating a wide range of conditions during travel. From flying eye hospitals with state-of-the-art operating rooms to ambulance planes that can land on unprepared runways, here are some of the best airplane ambulances in the world.

I thought they were gonna show the largest airplane ambulance but they were showing little private ambulance jets

[@Hickmaann90]

The biggest dedicated Air Ambulance I know is the Dornier Do 328. The bigger Aircrafts like the military MedEvac are simple modular constructions fit in MRTTs and therefore are not medical aircraft per say.

[@NaenaeGaming]

Because other than the DC-10 eye hospital, they ARE the largest dedicated medical aircraft.

[@PeterNGloor]

good vid. Note, though, that the text inserts do not always correspond with the plane shown. Also, when you talk about one model, pictures of other models are shown, too.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

every single narration in this video is wrong bcos it doesn't correspond to the aircraft being shown in the video . . . the Bombardier Global 6000 & Dassault Falcon 8X private jets can be a true long haul airborne paramedic aircraft . . . the longer fuselage of both airframes should accommodate upto 3 litter plus paramedics crew . . . Orbit could do with a fleet of 2 second hand refurbished B747-400 ER wide body quad jet or alternatively second hand B777-200 LR wide body jet . . . replacing the aging DC-10 wide body trijet that has been in service since early 1990s . . . conversion to a fully equipped airborne paramedics aircraft will cost anywhere between €246 Mn - €294 Mn (approx) . . .

Not even a single plane is big enough to accommodate 20 or more patients except for orbis.

[@mgalego4729]

Clickbait... But, I think it would be a good idea to turn an Embraer KC-390 in a kind of field ambulance.

[@challis2009]

They should’ve fact checked the info before publication, as most of the info did not match the planes listed!

[@spunker3]

The Orbis plane is a MD-10-30!

[@keurikeuri7851]

When I heard the biggest ambulance plane I was imagining at first that they were using the Boeing 747

Each country and each rescue organisation must find the right combination of range, speed, take-off and landing capabilities including ground conditions, loading options (cargo door), number of patients that can be transported with/without ICU equipment and of course the cabin size such as height and width for the medical personnel and also the communication options or the emergency power generator. The RFDS in Australia therefore relies on aircraft that can land and take off on any surface and have sufficient range. In the case of the boat accident in Horizontal Falls at the end of May 2022, it was possible to fly the casualties from Koolan Airport to Perth without a stopover using the 3 medi-jets of RFDS Western Operations. REGA in Switzerland relies on a wide and high cabin with a long range for repatriations. This means that the majority of patients can be transported to their home country without a stopover. In 2009, for example, a patient was flown across the Atlantic at an altitude of more than 30,000 feet for the first time using a special mobile ECMO. In February 2019, REGA flew a woman from Londen to Kaohsiung (Taiwan) with a team of eight and an ECMO machine. With a pure flight time of 14.5 hours and only 1 refuelling stop, the patient arrived in her home country of Taiwan as expected. The Bombardier Challenger 650's range and cabin size are particularly important factors here. Many other aircraft are more suitable for single transports and short distances. Although the ADAC Dornier 328 is equipped with a large cabin, it has a very short range.

[@MidnightVisions]

The Learjet us a terrible ambulance. Patients on stretchers can't fit through the front door. Patients must be flipped on their side, strapped to the stretcher and contorted around a right corner. My family was a victim of the Learjet. Never again!

[@TheDash456]

Fact check your sources in the video.

[@Yreq]

Maybe consider tp gather info and making it a bit more sober. You ruined my Honda expirience. I didn't know before that Honda make planes.

[@crymsonfoxxe]

they should be VTOL ngl, like imagine a learjet just VTOLing down
