Mil Mi-12 Homer

Back


The Mil Mi-12, known as V-12 in the Soviet Union, and by the NATO reporting name Homer, is so far the only helicopter produced by the Mil bureau to depart from the single main rotor plus tail rotor formula. It is to date the world's largest helicopter and flew for the first time in 1968, but did not enter production. The second prototype, which was presented in the West at the 1971 Paris Air Show, set seven load-carrying records in 1969: in February, a 31030kg load was lifted to 2951m and the following August, 40204kg was taken to 2255m.
