The world's largest helicopter !! The giant is real ..

[shooter18]

Carrying capacity 20 tons, length 40 meters !! 85 soldiers or 70 paratroopers!

[seti]

Such a helicopter is needed now and will be needed in the future. If there is an opportunity to improve it, then I am only for it.

Let Putin know about this, he will also agree.

UDC is the same military transport. The request of the paratroopers to carry smaller helicopters. Bulldozers and tanks - please ...

[agent russia]

and you don’t think of paratroopers as a soldier ????

[your1970]

I’m embarrassed to ask, why are soldiers worse than paratroopers ?????

MI-26T2.

At the MAKS air show there was a conversation with the Chinese about joint modernization. It seems like they were supposed to supply engines. Now it means they decided to develop it themselves. Well, well. That's right !!! There is nothing to depend on others

[jovanni]

The Chinese engines ?! Usually they have the most problems with the engines. No, I will not fly on such a helicopter ...

[Mountain shooter]

And what to improve in it? Such a successful device. Although, perhaps, the engines are more powerful and more economical, avionics and communications are new, displays in the cockpit, materials are new - you look, and 30 tons will be taken away. I think here is the Chinese footprint. They licked at him very much. And rightly so. Ours is modernization, the Chinese are licensed.

[ImPerts]

Limited license and some technology. To not swim for buoys. And if they do something themselves, then this is their problem. Externally, you can always copy. You can dress like a London dandy, drink tea in the English manner and walk everywhere with a cane. But you certainly won’t speak English from this.
“Doctor, can I play the violin after the operation?”
- You can.
- Doctor, tell me, as I can ?!
- Exactly.
- It’s strange, I didn’t know how before the operation, but after that I can.

The Perm company will develop an engine for the MI-26 helicopter to replace the Ukrainian one.December 25, 2015 / TASS /. The Aviadvigatel design bureau of Perm has started developing the PD-12V helicopter engine - an analogue of the Ukrainian engine for heavy MI-26 helicopters. This was announced by the governor of the region Viktor Basargin. "To replace the Ukrainian D-136 engine, which is used to equip the MI-26 helicopters, the Perm company Aviadvigatel began work on the creation of the PD-12V helicopter engine. In parallel, we are working on the creation of the PD-10 engine for a heavier modification of the Sukhoi Superjet aircraft (SSJ -NG) ", - said Basargin. The engines will be produced by the Perm Motor Plant.http://www.oborona.gov.ru/news/view/8004

[Neko75]

Well, if they do. The main thing is not to go into the stage of a sluggish project.

[Yugan Oleg]

So modernization in the context of abandoning Ukropsky is good news.

And what to improve in it?

Everything can be improved and always, the only question is expediency. If they improved by the ruble, but lost a hundred, to hell with such an improvement. And even if you simply moved the instruments on the dashboard and it became more convenient for the pilot to monitor them, which in turn increases flight safety, this is a necessary improvement. From the field of jokes, but true. On one plane, the spar (longitudinal power element) periodically broke, the head was broken, according to all calculations of strength for the eyes. One master advised to drill holes in length on free spots. He was first sent on a sexual journey, then decided to try it. Everything fell into place, the defect disappeared. Something like this.

[Taygerus]

the news is good, the Mi-26 is in demand, and it will remain idle for a long time, the design is very successful with a reserve for the future, I think the engines will be more powerful and economical, the main thing is not to delay the process

[WUA 518]

I remembered one old aircraft bike. "Autumn came, the parachute training was over, and in his heart the pilot Nikolaich was even glad of this: he had become very tired of the numerous take-offs and landings that he had to do with these" free-falling ". And now when he had a quiet long flight to another airfield with the young pilot Pavel, his mood was lifted: at last he had a real journey instead of winding circles over the field.

The weather had already become nasty in the autumn, dark cold clouds crawled, and there was no need for the sunglasses that Nikolaiich habitually wore. Twisting the already unnecessary little thing in his hands, he put them in his pocket and began to habitually prepare the engine for start-up. Clapping black oil clouds, little An began to bask, and a few minutes later the biplane swam in the air with two pilots on board.

In order to rejoice at the calmly creeping earthly expanses below, Nikolaich did not climb behind the clouds, but went down the bottom. The mood was lyrical, and Nikolaich, in spite of the instructions forbidding smoking on board, gladly took a drag on his cigarette, letting the younger generation of pilots, Pavel, "steer".

The situation became so peaceful that Nikolayevich did not immediately understand what exactly distracted him from such pleasant memories into which he plunged, but the trained side vision of the old flying wolf could not fail: something was wrong. Nikolayevich began to slowly inspect the horizon meter by meter:

- BL @ me! Commander, why are you ?! cried the young pilot Pavel, returning the pedals to normal. At that time, Commander Nikolayevich looked very much down, his round-glass eyes stared off to the side, his mouth opened, and his cigarette was about to fall to the floor. Having decided to find out what was the matter, Pavel began to look in the same direction as the commander and ... saw a bulldozer: YES, YES, it was HE.
Following a parallel course along the lower edge of the clouds, the bulldozer confidently gained height and for the last time, flashing a bucket, disappeared into the autumn clouds ...
- What was it? - Nikolaich said stupidly, reminding the protagonist of The Peculiarities of the National Hunt.
“Uhhh ... Bulldozer,” the co-pilot Pavel said hoarsely and in an undertone.
The commander pressed his finger on the "link":
- We have here ... Eeeee-uh ... well ... a bulldozer ... - Then the commander stopped short, realizing that he had done some stupid thing. Then flew silently. They did not want to go through an extraordinary medical examination.

In fact. The cockpit of the Mi-26 was bright and cheerful. The helicopter itself had almost overcome the cloud cover, and now the cockpit was flooded with pleasant sunlight. The whole crew was, as they say, "in the spirit", and therefore the atmosphere of humor and enthusiasm reigned.

Navigator:
- Commander, Annushka works there in parallel, be careful, overcast ...
- I see ... We climb above ... - the commander answered leisurely.
Smoothly gaining height, a powerful rotorcraft carried a bulldozer on the ropes

[doework]

Great news! Powerful backlog created KB Mil, honor and praise be to them!

[V.ic]

Democrats, the Mi-26 is just a super modernized Mi-6. They made another gearbox, they raped minus 800 kg on each blade. That's how the Mi-26 was born slowly.
