Helicopters don't necessarily have to land either. They already have the capability to lower a medic and litter using a winch while hovering.

I don't think the charity provided air ambulances in the UK have winches. They would have to call in a coast guard or military helicopter for that.

It sounds like this organisation would like to have more capability in house.

Although, I'm not sure if the extra capability would be worth the risks from flying an experimental jetsuit...
