00:00 Okay, we're up in the sky here.
00:02 That tells me how high I am.
00:04 I'm at 1,800 feet above sea level.
00:08 This one's the speed.
00:09 I'm doing roundabout 100 miles an hour.
00:11 I'm just cruising along.
00:13 The torque's about 70%.
00:15 That's the compass that's linked in to the autopilot system.
00:20 We can turn it on for a second.
00:23 Now the autopilot's flying.
00:25 I can let go of everything.
00:27 Here we've got how fast the rotors are going round on the top.
00:31 Here we've got temperatures and pressures and the amount of fuel we've got.
00:35 We're currently at nearly 2,000 foot up in the sky.
00:39 The clouds are roundabout 2,500 foot.
00:43 [Rotors whirring]
01:09 Bell 206 jet helicopter.
01:12 It's about 39 foot long.
01:14 It's about 10 and a half foot high.
01:16 It's got a huge blade on the back that stops the whole machine from rotating.
01:21 Because that blade on the top there, that starts going round one way.
01:25 You've got to have something at the back that counters that all the way round.
01:30 Now this machine will fly up to 20,000 foot, but you'd need some oxygen up there.
01:36 And it'll also fly at roundabout 140 to 150 miles an hour.
01:40 Come inside and I'll show you how it starts.
01:43 The collective going up and down, that makes the helicopter go up and down.
01:49 This here is the cyclic, and you go from side to side, backwards and forwards.
01:55 That amount of movement there will make this helicopter shoot to the left or right.
02:00 And let's fire it up.
02:02 I'm going to press this button here and things start happening really quickly.
02:06 You can see it going up 15%.
02:09 I'm going to ignite the fuel in about five more seconds.
02:12 Three, two, one.
02:13 Whoa!
02:14 It's getting there now, it's getting there now, it's getting there now.
02:17 Three, two, one.
02:19 The generator's on.
02:20 We can turn on the collision lights.
02:22 We can put in the power section.
02:24 We can put in the fuel pump.
02:26 And everything's coming alive.
02:29 We're now powering up to 100%.
02:33 It's getting there.
02:34 80, 90, 100.
02:38 We're now ready to fly.
02:40 I'm going to stick my head to the ground.
02:44 Watch me go.
