Helicopters World's Largest

Aircraft you already know, the iron bird with its wings, tail, and body. People invent aircraft was inspired by birds. But the helicopter, his inspiration from? Some say imitate the flight of dragonflies. I do not know, obviously if the plane loses engine can still be used like a glider controlled no engine - the right way of course. Hot air can still be lowered if it loses its power, but the helicopter? If the engine dies it is only one option: down! Roughly where the madman who had dared to fly a helicopter prototype? Not just flying, they also turned out to make this flying machine into giant monsters in the air.

Today, helicopters are made in accordance with the larger needs of war primarily to transport logistics, air cargo, and disaster management.


Once the engine is off or something blocking the pace, no mercy, he will immediately crashing to earth. Understandably, not winged.

But the man did not give up and keep trying so that now it can be said the helicopter is as safe and as comfortable as regular aircraft.

In fact they made ​​it to the very large size.

Unlike aircraft, the competition makes large helicopters began after World War II. As with many technological flying machines, helicopters boomed to become more functional and secure. Meanwhile, in the early 40s glyphs lucky enough to fly in the air - without killing the pilot.

Initially have lasted so long. In the 50's helicopter designs appear radical, both sponsored by the U.S. and the Soviet Union. One successful design is the Boeing Chinook is known not only for military purposes but also used by civilian companies for cargo. Appeared in the late 50's and last a very long time used as payload capabilities.

 

"Helicopters are coming!" in Look Magazine, May 18, 1954,  

Today modern and latest version is still used around the world. Proved capable of connecting locations that are impossible or difficult to reach. Chinook can carry cargo weighing 28,000 pounds (14 tons).

Helikopter-helikopter Monster Soviet

Another giant Mi-6, made ​​in Soviet Mikhail Mil design bureau. Made in the 50's, Mi-6 figure is like a monster. Although the shape is not as strange as Chinook, this monster can carry cargo weighing 26,000 tonnes (12 tons). The helicopter is among the most popular in the Soviet and until now some of them are still in use.

Not American name if not creating helicopters were also great as have the Russians. Maybe because it was designed by Hughes XH-17 helicopter is really big and scary. So remember the movie Transformer. Hehe.

Fairey Rotodyne, 1959, heralded as the "Airline with vertical take-off of the first in the world" (the project was stopped in 1962) and is the first airline in the world to use a helicopter: New York Airways, 1953

"On July 8, 1953, its New York Airways became the first to serve passengers by helicopter. Operates like the style of a bus company, the helicopters are flying from locations such as La Guardia Airport, New York International Airport, Neward Airport, West 30th Street in Manhattan, White Plains and Stamford all day "

Helicopter Greatest of All Time and the Wrong One The Most Bizarre

In addition to the giant dragonfly like Sky Crane and MI-10, see also figure this plane actually something like a regular airplane. But there main rotor blades, tail rotor blades, as well as the fuselage, and a monster called the Mil V-12 is indeed different than others:





Indeed, this monster has a propeller, but in the V-12 propeller is placed on the side of a large body. Strange is not it? Until now the helicopter is considered to be the largest in the world. How big? Wide as a Boeing 747, but unlike the 747 which requires a runway panjgan, V-12 capable of vertical take-off and at the same time pulling the load weighing 55,000 pounds or 80,000 pounds.

"On August 6, 1969, Mi-12 has been transporting cargo weighing 44,205 pounds at a height of 2255 m, and listed as a world record for a helicopter capacity has yet to be solved."

Do not try to approach this one monster when the blades rotate. The stones have a diameter of 12 inches can be flown like a leaf. His crew of 6 people, NATO called "Halo", a mega helicopter is capable of carrying 70 passengers or a lab in the air, or sebuh dump-truck, with room to spare.

When compared to Chinook, Mi-26 clearly larger. See the following model:

See detailed chart of these machines here. Mi-12 is still greater than the Mi-26, Mi-12 is unfortunately not fly anymore.
