 Mil Mi-8 - Wikipedia
Der Mil Mi-8 (Nato-Codename: Hip) ist ein in der UdSSR von Mil entwickelter und gefertigter Mehrzwecktransporthubschrauber.
Insgesamt wurden von diesem Hubschraubertyp (inklusive der Weiterentwicklung Mil Mi-17) seit dem Start der Serienproduktion 1964 etwa 12.000 Stück in den Werken in Kazan und Ulan-Ude gebaut.
Ursprünglich als Transporthubschrauber entwickelt, zeigte er bald seine Eignung für die verschiedensten Einsatzarten, etwa die Bodenunterstützung mit Raketen und Kanonen.

 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 Mi-4 "Hound"
The Hound was having to share Tarmac with my Il-28 Beagle.
My Hound is a neat little kit, not quite up to today's high tech molding standards, but sufficient and unique.
The pilot/chair assembly was sort of a head-shape glued onto a "dustcloth covered recliner" so I dug through my parts box and found two seats that could be modified into convincing helicopter seats.

 Soviet and Russian Helicopters
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.
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.
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.

 Wednesday (er, Thursday AM) Plane Porn: Mil Mi-8
The Mil Mi-8 (some versions of which are called Mi-17 in civilian service) is a workhorse helicopter made in Russia.
The Mil helicopters are legendary for their durability, but it is safe to say that none of these machines will ever fly again.
The rotor head closely resembles a Sikorsky design, which may be a consequence of nothing more that similar design considerations; or the Russians could have copied old Igor, who is greatly admired in his ancestral homeland.

 Special Hobby 1/48 Mil Mi-1 Hare
Mikhail Leontyevich Mil was made head of his own design bureau in 1947, and the first product of this bureau was the GM-1 helicopter.
While my construction notes may not have really covered it in great depth, there was certainly an amount of filling, sanding and filing required to get a good finish with the old statement of ‘treating this like a real limited run kit’ certainly being very true.
The fuselage halves finish before the nose, which is separately supplied as a vacform part, which means that the front of the cockpit floor juts out past the end of the fuselage, so cutting out and test fitting the nose is a must or you will have problems later.

 MIL MI-8 HIP
ike the other Mil turbine helicopters, the Mi-8 can also be used as a rescue machine with a winch on the cabin side capable of lifting a 250kg load, or with an under-fuselage hook for an external sling load of about 2500kg.
he third of Mikhail Mil's current quartet of turbine-powered helicopters, the Mi-8, appeared in prototype form towards the end of 1961.
In broad terms it bears the same relationship to the Mi-4 as the Mi-2 has to the Mi-1, and (initially at least) the rotor hub, rotor blades, rear fuselage boom and certain undercarriage components were similar to those employed in the Mi-4.

I remember two documentaries that were shown on German TV so far, reporting on Mil Mi-8/17 in service in Siberia, flying for hours and hours through the remote country under difficult meteorological conditions, and also another one on a company in Germany using the Mil Mi-8 as a flying crane for special construction work.
While the Mil Mi-26 is the largest and heaviest active helicopter in the world with a maximum weight of almost 56.000kgs, the smaller Mil Mi-8/17 family is no less impressive.
The improved version, the Mil Mi-17, was presented to the public in 1981 at the Paris Air Show, and featured many improvements, which were, first of all, stronger engines: now two Klimov (Isotov) TV3-117VM, providing 1637kw (2200hp) each, served as engines, allowing for a take-off weight of 13.000kgs and 250km/h (135kts).
