15 BIGGEST Helicopters Ever Produced

Offering far more maneuverability than other aircraft, the earliest recognizable concepts of helicopters date back more than 2 thousand years ago in China with bamboo toys for children. Similar ideas would then make their way to Europe, with Leonardo da Vinci sketching a design in the 1480s… but, for centuries, they remained just miniature toys. It'd only be in 1942 that the first model of helicopter would go into full-scale production, and since then, engineers have designed countless different types that are suited to various purposes. The most impressive are the largest ones, though, so it’s time to see just how far this concept has been pushed, as we take a flight on the 15 biggest helicopters ever produced.

I’ve flown on 8 of these birds over the course of my military career. Two others I’ve been able to go inside and look around before. Excellent content! Keep it up, Top Fives.

Cool do u get air sick easier only been on a normal jet ✈️ 4 times lol idk just wanna know lol 😂😂😂😂

[@dane0phelps]

@@teddycourtright3466 I’ve luckily never experienced air or motion sickness. I served with a few guys that would bring barf bags with them on jumps, air assaults, or even just riding in the back of an LMTV. The only thing that I’ve experienced that have turned my stomach are the smell of rotting or burnt human remains. Those smells never leave you either. Anything close to that smell is triggering now. 🤮 Other than that a rotary wing pilot can whip the bird around as much as they want and the only stomach discomfort I’d have is from laughing at my buddies filling up barf bags. 😂

Thanks for this big helicopter video! It inspires me creating a big helicopter playing card quartet for kids. My favorite helicopters are big transport / cargo helicopters: size and flexibility (VTOL) are points for V22 Osprey. Maybe Airbus might build them in license or develop an own search and rescue version & disaster relief effort. PS: In the 1970s I've built my model Sikorsky SkyCrane Helicopter (Airfix or Revell) when I was a teenager.

The only reason the U.S. doesn't replace cargo trains, & or cargo shipping boats, with cargo air plane's/cargo helicopter's bc they don't want the "United States" to be anymore divided, than it already is via "Republican-Democrat" oppositions... ...the fact that landlocked states need coastal states shipping ports, while coastal states need landlocked states railroad lines, ... ...is more than likely, the last thing keeping each state, from going to war, to become it's own independent country... ...that, & or the fact that societies are struggling with land mammals soo much, that if it focused more on the future of inheriting international air traffic control, they'd lose control over land traffic, via the inevitability of Mad Max type scenarios inheriting/dominating land traffic, when the current reign abandons the lands, to take to the skies! #TheArtOfPerfectingSecuredPersonalSpaceForeveryoneShouldntBeTheOnlyWayToFullyDominateinternetTrafficMarineTrafficLandTrafficAndOrAirTraffic
