As the two screws conquered the air. History helicopters of "Mi"
In 1947, the outstanding designer Mikhail Mil headed the Experimental Design Bureau, which later became one of the best schools in the world helicopter. Today, the tradition of the school as part of the holding company "Russian Helicopters" successfully continues and develops the MVZ. ML Mile, and cars "Mi" save people and fight with the enemy for 65 years.

History Mil. ML Mile is rich with examples of bold designs that are used and served as the basis for future development of unique. In many ways, the familiar face of the modern helicopter was formed thanks to the work of specialists of this particular size. Original design finds often served as a pretext for the development of other technologies that are currently being implemented in Russia and in other countries.
How it all started and where in the end it?
- FISHKIKAT = = -
MI-1
Light multipurpose helicopter. The first flight took place on 20 September 1948. First serial helicopter. Production was carried out in 1954-1960, only 2,680 cars were built.
MI-2
Light multipurpose helicopter. First flight - 22 September 1961. For many years he was the principal of training and sports helicopter in the USSR, and even now the Mi-2 is involved in tenders, competing with their successors Ka-226 and "ANSAT».
MI-4
Transport and multipurpose helicopter. First flight - April 30, 1952. Initiated the series of domestic helicopter aviation. For a long time was the main transport and assault helicopters Warsaw Pact countries. And Harbin Z-5, the Chinese licensed copy of the Mi-4, is still standing armed forces of the DPRK.
MI6
Heavy transport helicopter. First flight - June 5, 1957. Mi-6 - the world's first series production helicopter, equipped with two turboshaft engine with free turbine. The creation of the Mi-6 laid the foundations of the Soviet and then Russian priority in the global heavy helicopter.
MI-8
The average multi-purpose helicopter. First flight - 24 June 1961. The most popular mass-produced helicopter in the world. Produced more than 12 thousand cars. The Mi-8 is used in more than 50 countries, including India, China and Iran.
MI-14
Amphibious helicopter. First flight - August 1, 1961. The world's largest amphibious helicopter. Is capable of takeoff / landing and basing on the water surface.
MI-10K
"Flying crane". First flight - January 14, 1965. High-tech means to conduct assembly and construction and handling.
B-12
Super-heavy transport helicopter. First flight - 27 June 1967. The heaviest helicopter ever built in the world. B-12 was designed for the transport of components of intercontinental ballistic missiles for parts of the Strategic Missile Forces.
MI-24
Transport and gunship. First flight - 19 September 1969. The most "belligerent" helicopter in the world. It should be in service in more than 50 countries.
MI-26
Heavy transport and assault helicopters. First flight - 14 December 1977. The Mi-26 is the lifting helicopter in the world.
Mi-28N "Night Hunter»
Attack combat helicopter capable of acting at any time. First flight - November 14, 1996. Chosen as the primary shock combat helicopter Russian Defense Ministry.
MI-34C
The training and multi-purpose helicopter. First flight - November 17, 1986. The world's only light helicopter performing all aerobatics.
MI-38
The new multi-purpose helicopter increased weight. First flight - 22 December 2003.
Today, in priorities at Mil. ML Mile - work on projects of Mi-38, Mi-171A2, "PSV". Much attention is paid to the use of composite materials, which are being actively implemented on all models. It is expected that Russian helicopters will receive new quality: they must become faster and more powerful, increase payload and reduce operating costs.
