The World's Largest Cargo Helicopter Capable of Carrying Aircraft: Mil Mi 26

Following the space shuttle-carrying plane in the previous episode, this one features a helicopter transporting planes.
We examine the Mi26 in further detail.
According to NATO data, the largest transport helicopter in the world has the capacity to carry the most cargo.
To provide Aeroflot with a heavy-lift helicopter to aid in the exploitation of impoverished areas, this aircraft was built. Early in the 1970s, as soon as it became clear that the V-12 would not be able to carry out this function, it began to undergo development. The Mi-26 was the first commercially available helicopter with an eight-blade main lift rotor. It can keep flying even with one engine malfunctioning because of an engine load-sharing technology.
With its enormous size, it appears that the Mi-26's capabilities will continue to be used, particularly in the military field, where it has been used for years to transport military equipment to far-off locations, including personnel carriers and mobile ballistic missiles.

เป็น ฮ.ใหญ่ที่สุดเท่าที่เคยเห็น Mi.26 สุดยอดจริงๆ

[@SniperRU]

Отличный вертолёт! Но мне больше нравится Ми-10, внешность которого напоминает гигантского комара.

[@ShockwaveAviation]

Damn, that thing is huge

[@Aeronaut1975]

It's not even the largest Helicopter even flown! check out the Mil-V12

[@ShockwaveAviation]

Will do

[@definitelyfrank9341]

Bigger than a C-130, believe it or not. It also can carry the same payload.

[@remadshow]

Really interesting

[@ShockwaveAviation]

SUPER INTERESTING, DUDE

[@colinobrien3806]

[@user-sk7fl3wp3d]

Да да, то что принесет этот вертолет, может что угодно отжать и распылить.

I think the Russians sell this helicopter commercially. I wonder about the price. Probably fifty percent less than an F-35.

[@OctopusgamingYTw]

18 million dollars

[@patriktoth6258]

Helicopters are cheaper than fighter jets...

[@SuperMyckie]

"Was painted by women because it required fine workmanship".... and no feminist said a thing.. imagine if they said it was painted by Men because it needed precision!

[@purplerocket4300]

5:41 Why is the cockpit pressurized? It can only go up to 2,150 feet.

[@Cuplex1]

The service ceiling is 4,600 m (15,100 ft)

[@wreckincrew2714]

The King Stallion has a higher payload and lift capacity but might not be as "large in size". Plus the Chinook is superior.

[@ammar_d2705]

And yet a chinook got carried by the 26😂

[@alexomar2010]

No, mi mi26 is more powerful than king stalion and rather cheaper.

[@dova238]

bro what u talking about the chinook can no where near lift higher than the Mi-26🤣🤣

Anyone who upvotes OP's comment has no idea why they're watching this video or what they're talking about.
