Helicopter V-12 Bashny.Net

The museum under the open sky Air Force in Monino can be found and if you want to touch many unique flying machines of yesteryear. Today we look at two legends: helicopter V-12, and many are familiar from the movie "Mimino" Tu-144. B-12 - the biggest and lifting the helicopter of all time. It developed in the Mil Design Bureau in the years 1963-1968 to move the components of intercontinental missiles in areas without paved roads. When the car went up in the air, thanks to the modernization of missile systems need high-duty disappeared. Essentially-12 remained experimental machine. The second flying prototype of the machine was placed in Monino, but first - put on eternal parking in punk, and only recently turned into a museum.





. Helicopters-12 holds the record for duty, not beaten till now - lifting 44 tons of cargo to a height of 2255 meters. According to one of the foreign specialists from inside the helicopter like a Gothic cathedral.



From the cockpit rope exit traction management "Jets" tail car.



Then thrust into the distance under the ceiling of the fuselage. Length of cargo area more than 28 meters, width and height - 4, of 4 meters.



For the cargo compartment is a small passenger cabin.









The cabin crew was bunk. Downstairs there were two pilot, flight engineer and bortelektrik.



The instrument panel of the machine.



. The pilot's seat.





Government-rimmed.







At the top of the cab sat navigator and radio operator.







From the top of the cab has a sunroof. Well you can see the overlap screws is 3 meters. Inside the center-passes transmission shaft, the timing rotor rpm. He could transmit torque in the event of failure of one or even two engines on one side.



On the wings of a helicopter found two gas turbine engine D-25VF similar to those that bet on the Mi-6 and Mi-10.



Let's move on to the unique Tu-144. This aircraft 4-series, built in Voronezh in 1975. Commits a technical flight with mail and goods in Almaty, but passengers carried.



In 1977, the aircraft starred in "Mimino", where the destinations mentioned Delhi and San Francisco. Dreams, dreams ... In 1980, the plane was decommissioned and has made the last flight on a snowy lane in Monino.



In 2005, the plane was looted by vandals, missing including unique instruments, standing alone on the Tu-144. In the same year began the restoration of the machine by the volunteers. Since 2009, the plane is available for visitors to open days. In 2011, with great difficulty, with the help of a mechanical drive lowered the nose of the machine. Now, every winter he climbs back. The flaps in the bow is not advanced at all.



With a high ladder, brought back a few years ago from Domodedovo, you can survey the entire territory of the museum. Directly at the gangway is "rook" Su-25.



The aircraft meets the merry pink lobby.



Next - the first-class cabin.



Seat belts.



Ashtrays in the armrests.



Above the seats - special panel. The plane survived their bit to make the restoration of new custom.



The windows were closed special mesh sun. Cruise ship supersonic flight carried only above the cloud layer.



In the second set the cabin all three rows of seats, as much time to recover.



Perforated trim cabin was bought from car manufacturer, because a similar was put in the "Zhiguli».



The third room is not yet ready to receive visitors.



But we can see a similar cabin Tu-154 in the same "Mimino».



Before the cockpit is the vestibule to the emergency exit.



There is a place for flight attendants, the system control panel and all interior cabinets.





In the cockpit of the pilot's seat was the place of flight engineer, manage multiple systems. There is even a duplicate control handle engine thrust.







The crew of the aircraft consisted of three people: two pilots and a flight engineer. Mimino in the copilot's seat and four in the cab, it's again the Tu-154.



So today looks perfectly restored cabin liner.



Details fascinate ...

Drivers are located on the steering wheel button ACS (automatic control system).



Under the wing of the Tu-144 installed the A-144 (MiG-21I / 2) - a unique aircraft-analogue, tailless, which worked through the wing of the Tu-144. Test flights on him made the legendary pilot Igor Volk.



The barrel restoration honey spoon of tar museum. In 1985, Monino museum offered to take the unique prototype of the Tu-144 Soviet-68001, which did not have retractable wings in the nose and in general is very different from the mass-produced cars. The museum, having been almost new Tu-144 Soviet-77106, abandoned the unique plane, which was disposed of in the same year. The museum currently has three hectares of empty land, and one of the planes could serve as a donor for a second. Did not happen ...

And the artist has depicted the meeting of the Tu-144 and MiG-21I in 1980.
