	Mikhail Mil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mikhail Leontyevich Mil (Russian language: Михаил Леонтьевич Миль 22 November 1909 - 31 January 1970) was a founder of the Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant, which is responsible for many of the well-known Russian helicopter models, notably the Mil Mi-24 'Hind'.
		Mikhail Mil's creations won many domestic and international awards and set 69 world records.
		In 1971 (after his death), his Mil B-12 won the Sikorsky prize as the most powerful helicopter in the world.

	Mil Helicopters
		Founded in 1947 by Mikhail Leontyevich Mil, who was involved with soviet gyroplanes and helicopters from 1929 until his dead on January 31, 1970, aged 60.
		Mil has exported more than 7000 helicopters for a sum amounting to more than u$s 20,000,000,000, and if one includes service and spare, this amazing figure is doubled.
		What can be assumed without doubt is that whatever the Mil helicopter plant in Moscow has achieved in the past is still thriving at this moment and will continue to create reliable, inexpensive and modern helicopters.

		The helicopters are also being used to log forests in a far more sustainable fashion, as lifting giant hardwood logs straight out of a forest limits the need for building roads and also limits the impact on undergrowth allowing for sustainable cropping.
		The Mil 6 Hook was for many years the most successful heavy lift helicopter.
		The Mil Mi 26 comes in many forms ranging from military troop carriers to flying small hospitals and even to a flying fuel tanker with 10 fuel hoses.

		Mil company says that during the early years of the war between Iran and Iraq the ratio between downed Mi-24s and destroyed tanks stood at 1:16.
		Mil and Rostvertol are offering upgrade and life-extension programmes for the long-serving Mi-24s, including fitting them with the Mi-28's rotor system.
		This gives Mil people the right to say "Mil helicopters saved the world." For thousands of soldiers and officers who fought in Afghanistan and Chechnya the Mi-8 is a sight of salvation - in heavy conditions, often under enemy's fire, the helicopter pilots rescued many wounded servicemen by means of quick evacuation to hospitals.

		For the first time not only in the Mil OKB’s practice but also in the world helicopter design practice, the powerplant consisted of two gas turbine engines; another peculiarity was the use of auxiliary wing offloading the main rotor in cruise flight.
		In 1967, however, Mil truly amazed the world by bringing out the mighty V-12 capable of lifting a 25-ton (55,110-lb) payload.
		This machine was destined to remain in prototype form; yet in 1977 the OKB achieved a major success with the smaller but more advanced Mi-26, which remains the world’s largest production helicopter and, like the Mi-6, has rendered invaluable service in both civil and military applications.

		The Mil factory in Moscow, which produced this Mi8 helicopter, is struggling to cope with debts totalling $11.3 million.
		He said MIB and Zapolsky had hoped to strike a settlement before Mil's period of external management expires on Dec. 16, and expressed doubt Bogacharov would be able to come up with a new, acceptable plan in the six weeks remaining.
		The Mil Plant is actually best known for its design bureau, which developed blueprints from which helicopters were built by other factories in Kazan, Ulan-Ude and Rostov-on-Don.

	Mi-24 Hind
		General Designer Mikhail Leontyevich Mil, who headed a Soviet design bureau, first proposed a "flying infantry fighting vehicle" in the mid-1960s, building a full-scale mockup of a helicopter designated the V-24.
		Mil received permission to develop a prototype in 1967.
		Cockpit visibility for the early Hinds was extremely bad, forcing Mil to redesign the cockpit so both the pilot and WSO sat under individual bubble canopies.

	Soviet and Russian Helicopters
		While Kamov designed numerous successful helicopters, the most important Soviet helicopter designer was Mikhail Leontevich Mil, who was as crucial to the development of Soviet helicopter aviation as Sikorsky was to the United States.
		The primary user of the Mi-8 was the Soviet military, and when the Soviet Union collapsed in the late 1980s, Mil's production of the Mi-8 dropped from hundreds a year to a few dozen a year, nearly all for export.
		Mil also developed the Mi-24 Hind assault helicopter, which shared some features with the Mi-8, but was intended to carry a substantial weapons load.

	[1.0] Hind Variants / Soviet Service
		Mikhail Mil, head of the Soviet Mil helicopter design bureau, was very interested in the idea of a purpose-designed attack helicopter.
		A team at the Mil design bureau under V.A. Kuznetsov conducted the design work, with the effort closely monitored by Mil, and then, after Mil's death from cancer on 31 January 1970, by his successor, Marat Timoschenko.
		Mil did live long enough to see the first of three prototypes of the "V-24" rolled out in June 1969.

		The purpose of the type was to fulfill the need for a heavy VTOL transport able to carry outsized heavy cargo, similar to that carried by the Antonov An-22.
		The original specification called for a tandem rotor system, however Mil claimed that a side-by-side rotor system offered better stability and received approval to proceed.
		To avoid designing a complete new rotor system, Mil chose to use two Mil Mi-6 rotor and propulsion systems (with the left rotor mirrored) mounted at the ends of the strutted wing.

	The Mil Mi-1 "Hare", Mi-2 "Hoplite", & Mi-4 "Hound"
		In September 1948, the Mil OKB performed the initial flight of the "GM-1", and submitted it to the 1950 competition.
		The first two Mil GM-1 prototypes were lost in accidents, the second killing the pilot, but the bugs were worked out and machine went into Red Air Force service in 1951, by which time it had acquired the designation of "Mi-1".
		The Sikorsky S-55 had gone into production in 1950 and it is hard to believe that the Mil OKB engineers weren't heavily influenced by it, but all that is saying is that the Soviets were smart enough to adopt good ideas when they saw them.

	Mil Heavy-Lift Helicopters
		* The Mil organization began work on their first heavy-lift helicopter in 1954, when the OKB was ordered to design a rotorcraft that could carry a payload of more than 11 tonnes (25,000 pounds) over a distance of 240 kilometers (150 miles).
		Two prototypes were built, with the first flying in 1968 and the type making its public debut at the 1971 Paris Air Show, the year after Mikhail Mil died and was replaced by Professor Marat Tischenko.
		The result was the Mil "Mi-26 Halo", which first flew in December 1977 and went into production in 1981, the same year it was first publicly demonstrated at the Paris Air Show.

		It was also the first major helicopter design of Mikhail Leonovich Mil and his fledging design bureau.
		The Mi-1 featured a single three-bladed main rotor, which was in major contrast to the standard dual-rotor designs of Kamov, Bratukhina, and Yakovlev.
		Mil's design survived the test of time - Yakovlev stuck to fixed-wing aircraft, Bratukhina faded out of existence, and while Kamov continues their dual rotor designs even today, they have not been produced in anywhere near the quantities of Mil's designs.

		The bankruptcy filing must have been a humbling experience for the once-mighty Mil, named after its engineer founder, Mikhail Mil, who built up the firm over half a century to supply 90 percent of the Russian army's helicopters and garner a quarter share of the world market.
		Russian business daily Expert wrote: "the (Mil) factory's problems began with the arrival of foreign shareholders." That was a view shared by several Russian politicians who believed that the state should hold a majority ownership in large aerospace concerns.
		Mil was partially privatised in 1992 and the state retained a 31 percent stake but had no money to invest or make large orders for more aircraft.

	Major Contributor to the Evolution of Aircraft Design
		Mikhail L. Mil was one of the major influences in helicopter design and research for the Soviet Union during the fledgling days of early helicopter evolution.
		His influence is apparent in the designs that continue to emerge from the Mil Design Bureau in Moscow which was founded in 1947, all but one of which continue in the vain of his earliest design layout.
		Although detailed information was hard to come by for Mikhail Mil, it appears his first designs were created in the 1920’s and he continued to lead the Soviet Union, and many times the world in helicopter design until his death in 1970.
