With the ship movign roughly 40mph and the helicopter maintaining a hover relative to the ship, its the same thing as the helicopter moving at 40mph. With the extra wind across the blades, it requires less power and you have a greater margin of safety.
LOL WHEN I WAS ON THE nAVIGATOR OF THE sEAS THERE WAS A MEDIVAC AND THEY HAD TO DDO IT ON THE SPORTS COURT RATHER THAN THE FRONT OF THE SHIP FOR SOME REASON AND EVERYONE WAS STANDING WATCHING AND A SMALL GUY CAME IN AND SAID 'OK, EVERYBODY BACK UP, YOU EVER SEE A HELICOPTER CRASH?! .....BIG EXPLOSION!...DEBRIS EVERYWHERE!'
no no, it definately is NOT the voyager class or the freedom class. I have been on ships in both classes. One of them being Voyager of the Seas, and the ship in this vid is certainly not the Voyager.
No this is not Enchantment of the seas either. It is one of two possible ships.. it is either the Splendour of the Seas, or the Legend of the Seas. Both are Vision class, but are the only two in the vision class that have the smoke stack above the Viking Crown Lounge. The others in the Class the smoke stack is completely seperate.
I did a helo medevac (Coast Gaurd) of a 16yr old from a cruise ship 230nm off shore. This video was taken from a C-130 flying cover for us. This is a short clip, but there is no sound.
this ship is the sovergin class ships on the royal carribean inc

what ship is this
samandsteven111 1 year ago
Cruise ships don't go 40 mph. Most top out at 25. Most USN ships won't hit 40.

That was 40knts relative. The ship can easily go 25-30 knts plus another 10-15 knts of wind across the bow.
