Heliribade

Heliribade is a type of helicopter designed for search and rescue (SAR) operations. It is characterized by its robust construction, powerful engines, and specialized equipment tailored for emergency missions. These helicopters are typically equipped with hoists, winches, and medical evacuation capabilities, allowing them to quickly transport injured or sick individuals to medical facilities. Heliribades are often used by military and civilian SAR teams to reach remote or inaccessible areas where ground transportation is not feasible. They are known for their versatility and reliability, making them essential tools in emergency response and humanitarian efforts. The term "heliribade" is derived from the French words "hélicoptère" (helicopter) and "ribade" (a type of small boat used for rescue operations), reflecting its dual capability in both aerial and water-based rescue missions.
