Mil Mi-6 Heavy Transport Helicopter Family
The Mil Mi-6 is a heavy transport helicopter family that first flew in 1957 and established the large single-rotor cargo-helicopter layout later continued by other Mil designs. Its two turboshaft engines, 35-metre main rotor, rear-loading cargo cabin, and removable lift-sharing wings enabled internal and sling-load transport, aerial-crane work, record flights, and specialized firefighting variants.
