Starting the World’s Largest Helicopter Ever Produced

In this episode of Tekniq, we witness the operations and capabilities of the Mil Mi-26 helicopter, the largest helicopter ever produced.

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

I thought we were going to see the engine starting process as per the thumb nail :-(

[@dcoul1]

Yep me too. Shame.

[@fredfred2363]

Yeah, me three. Just preflight then running. I was hoping to watch the engines starting. 👎🏻

[@Tom-sg4iv]

It's a secret

[@bushigongzuomayi]

Ein wunderschöner Helicopter! Ich war sehr beeindruckt wieviel Können dahintersteckt. Vielen Dank für das Video. In der Realität gibt es kaum die Möglichkeit soetwas zu besichtigen. Jetzt hätte ich natürlich 1000 Fragen😂🎉❤

[@truthful3777]

My country helicopter mechanics were amazed when they asked the Russian on what special grease to be used on various components to be greased in the Russianhelicopter. As usual with western aircaft. Specific grease for Specific components. They were dumbfounded when the Russian specialist told them, just ordinary grease will do.😮😮😮 The Russian specialist explained, the helicopter is designed for War and where to find specialised grease during war time? Ordinary grease will be just fine on Russian military helicopters.😅😅😅

[@spazmonkey3815]

They use the same grease on their refrigerators and they use their refrigerator chips in their missiles hahahahahaha.

@@spazmonkey3815thật buồn cười,, khi nhà bạn tạo ra chips riêng cho tủ lạnh và riêng cho tên lửa,, thì tên lửa và tủ lạnh nhà bạn cũng không tốt hơn được của người ta dùng chung,, người ta dùng chung thì dễ thay thế hơn và dẻ tiền hơn,, hiệu quả lại cũng hơn ,, nhưng với bạn đó là trò cười ,,

When the captain says "doors to manual" he really means it.

Hahaha no automatic doors on this thing 😂

[@eduardooliver6146]

Depois desse vídeo é que tive realmente a noção de como esse helicóptero é gigantesco, nem dá pra acreditar que ele consegue levantar vôo de tão pesado, uma das mostras da engenhosidade soviética!

[@KenDavies-qv3fs]

Excellent, thank you for showing this.

[@beakytwitch7905]

That is one beautiful aircraft. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@ross82]

The US media laughed when they saw old Soviet helicopters flying in the Afghanistan military parade. They clearly didn’t understand the significance of what they were seeing. The helicopters were still flying! I wonder how much functioning equipment is being preserved and hidden away in the deep freezer of Siberia 🤔

[@thesocialpilot]

Great start to the video. I really like the detail you were showing and the pre flight checked you were guiding us through as you went around. I must add from one fellow pilot to another. It’s a real shame you did not show the start sequence, as it just cuts to rotors spinning and engines already started. May I suggest the title of the video is altered as the reason I clicked was to see the start sequence. Thank you though and I look forward to seeing the start of the magnificent machine in the future on your channel perhaps. Kind regards. TheSocialPilot 🤟

Everything is done manually, and for a moment I thought they would also rotate the blades manually while flying.

What was the nozzle ported to the exterior through the hatch he undid when checking the air filter? Is that too attach an external motor to start an engine?

Le MIL Mi-26 n'est pas le plus grand! Et il n'est pas nouveau, J'ai eu l'occasion de monter à bord en 2009. La Russie avait construit le MIL MI-V12 qui pouvait lever 44 tonnes. (le MI-26 avait une charge nominale de 24 tonnes mais il a pu lever un TU-1? avec passagers totalisant 34 tonnes) il a aussi été chercher pour les Américains, en Afghanistan un Chinook qui avait ses rotors détruits
