Unmanned Rescue Helicopter - TGR Helicorp's Alpine Wasp

New Zealand-based commercial helicopter manufacturer TGR Helicorp developed an unpiloted full-scale alpine rescue helicopter called Alpine Wasp. It can maneuver carefully and separately at altitudes up to and beyond 30,000ft. It is also capable of airlifting up to two injured men at a time using ultra-modern composite technologies. The Company is actually donating the unmanned helicopter to the Everest Rescue Trust after they test and evaluate it.

The Everest Trust is to use the Alpine Wasp as its key technology in building and operating a self-funding unmanned rescue helicopter service for the extreme altitude regions of Nepal. This humanitarian project aims to save lives on Everest and improve the safety and emergency services in Nepal, while directly benefiting the Nepalese people. (gizmag)

How do you get injured people onto an unmanned aircraft? This seems as smart as bringing a unmanned ambulance to someone's house to pick them up in case of an emergency. Maybe that's good if they are trying to save their insurance company some money??
