The largest helicopter ever built was a massive aircraft developed in the Soviet Union during the 1960s called the Mil V-12. The V-12 was a rather unusual test vehicle that featured two rotors mounted side by side at the ends of a large wing. Each rotor had a diameter of nearly 115 ft (35 m). The helicopter was so enormous that the distance from the edge of one rotor disk to the other was almost 220 ft (67 m), even wider across than the wingspan of a Boeing 747!
@Martijnkop for sure its just the camera, look at blade tips they got blur which means high velocity, even this large helicopter need to have a good amount of rpm to take off and work.
Mil Mi-26 Length: 40.025 m (rotors turning) Rotor diameter: 32.00 m Height: 8.145 m Disc area: 804.25 m2 (8,656.8 ft²) Empty weight: 28,200 kg Loaded weight: 49,600 kg Max takeoff weight: 56,000 kg __________ Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion Length: 88 ft 6 in (26.97 m) Rotor diameter: 72 ft 2.7 in (22.01 m) Height: 24 ft 11 in (7.6 m) Empty weight: (10,740 kg) Loaded weight: (15,227 kg) Max takeoff weight: (19,100 kg) compare))
The Mexican Air Force used to use 4 or 5 of these. They have since retired them in favor of CH-53's. I think now the only ones using them in North America are a Canadian company. 2r1c, the Mi-12 hasn't been in service for decades.
yes the mil 12 is the largest in the world, but this is the largest operational helicopter ever built. anyway, both of the are tiny compared to the massive An 255, which itself is tiny compared to the hindenberg. it's all a matter of perspective, right?
lool yeah the rotors are moving slow because they're huge!
THey're so big they don't need much speed to lift the helicopter!
And when it goes at high altitude, not a lot of people knows that because they're not seen while at high altitude, but the rotors are moving vertically just like an aircraft!
Then they go at supersonic speeds! ( thats why they land on carriers!)
Lol you must be really dumb to say something like that. Yes things look slower when bigger like a tornado..But damn dude in the vid bc of the camera they look like they are spinning 2 mph and you actually think that would lift the helicopter lol.
m-12 had double the cargo capacity but it was too impractical. they refined it into the mil 26 which took advantage of better technology which appeared later
not really the mi-12 is 37m long where this is 40m the rotor diameter of mi-12 is 35m and halo is 32m but nobody uses the mi-12 its a relic in a museum now so that makes this the current largest helicopter the mi-12 is literally 3m wider and 4m taller but being such huge aircraft its not that much and like i said this is longer.
HAHAHAHAHA it is not the biggerst!! it is the biggerst helicopter witch is flying today! The biggerst ever is the MIL mi-12 (sorry because of the gramma, but im from Germany!)
Lol when i said. "wow it spins so slow" I was being sarcastic. NO Heli would fly with that spining so slow. Is not only the camera, you can also see it in person and tell is an illusion.
erm no! chinooks have 2 counter rotating blade AKA 2 blades on top and not one on top and one on the tail. i would have thought that even a 10 year old could point out a chinook
yeah I do. Because when your old and weak I can reap your life from your hands. But besides with someone as uncommon interests as yourself you should take absolutes seriously.
Actually... Look at the length Mi-26: # Length: 40.025 m (131 ft 4 in) # Rotor diameter: 32.00 m (104 ft 11.8 in) # Height: 8.145 m (26 ft 9 in) # Disc area: 789 m2 (8,495 ft²) # Empty weight: 28,200 kg (62,170 lb) Mi-12: # Length: 37.00 m (121 ft 4 in) # Rotor diameter: 2x 35.00 m (114 ft 10 in) # Height: 12.50 m (41 ft 0 in) # Loaded weight: 97,000 kg (213,850 lb)
The pipeline company i work for hired a russian crew to lift rig mats with one of these monsters in northern Canada.I unfortunatly didnt get to see it,i was in hospital :(
