00:00Hello, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen.
00:05What does this mean?
00:07We have a range infinite, with the capacity of gravity.
00:12Yes.
00:13The record we have batted, I think it was in 2020,
00:18General Maigrette and G-Citras, it was the marathon.
00:21We had more than 11 hours of flight.
00:2411 hours and a half of flight.
00:25Yes, it was the capacity of human.
00:30But even more than 12 hours, it could live in a moment.
00:35I used to check if I was a fan,
00:37and I was going to be on the right side of it.
00:39I was going to be on the left side of it.
00:42We have to check that out and see if I can.
00:45Just give it a minute.
00:47If I can do anything, then I can do anything.
00:50It's possible to do anything I do.
00:52What is the timing?
00:54No.
00:55We have to do anything.
00:57So we have the carbureant that is there.
01:26The carburement is in the ailes, it's the carburement of the plane that we give to the receiver and then we have additional pumps that are submerged in the reservoir
01:35which aliment the tank stick and we bring the avion in the chassis.
01:40There are some pumps in the reservoirs that are there?
01:42Yes, the reservoirs of the plane are in the ailes.
01:44And the carburement arrives thanks to the pumps that are submerged in the 755.
01:51I did it with the old one and I did it from the other side with the gas of Saint-Dizier.
01:58I did it with the revitaillement.
02:00It was impressive.
02:09So, the lourdes are intensive care patients and critical care.
02:13And the plane is equipped completely and equipped as a intensive care service.
02:18That's what we used during Covid-19.
02:20Exactly.
02:21It was the first time at the time.
02:27Each module can interact with each of them,
02:30so that they can take care of the oxygen from the other modules if the patient doesn't need.
02:34And the chirurgic urgence is possible?
02:36Yes, essentially.
02:37Because a chirurgical gesture would require too much precision.
