Aviation safety protocols strictly forbid standard helicopters from attempting to take off during periods of extreme, blistering summer heat, completely grounding rescue fleets when temperatures creep dangerously close to triple digits; as the surrounding ambient air becomes excessively hot, the atmospheric density violently drops, spreading the vital oxygen molecules too far apart for the rapidly spinning rotor blades to physically bite into the air and generate the necessary upward lift, meaning the engine can scream at absolute maximum capacity, but the massive aircraft will just angrily vibrate on the melting tarmac like a terribly designed metal paperweight, which is immensely frustrating because it proves a multi-million-dollar feat of advanced aeronautical engineering can be completely defeated by a slightly too aggressive, very sunny Tuesday afternoon!
