Brief introduction
The Mi-10 is a heavy transport helicopter developed from the Mi-6 helicopter, and unlike other Soviet helicopters, the Mi-10 was only used by Soviet civil aviation and was put into service in 1963. While most versions were retired in 2009, the short-legged Mi-10K remained in service as of 2014.
The advent of the Mi-6 provided the USSR with the possibility of moving and placing large, bulky or heavy loads with precision. Limitations of the Mi-6 in terms of flying cranes include the ratio of weight to payload and the inability of the crew to easily see the load and its expected final location. The Ministerial Council Directive of February 20, 1958 instructed OKB-329 (OKB Mil) to develop a specialized flying crane helicopter for carrying bulky cargo that the Mi-6 could not carry.
The first Mi-10 prototype was completed in 1959, its maiden flight took place on June 15, 1960, and 40 long-legged Mi-10 helicopters were built between 1964 and 1969
The limitations of the Mi-10 in hoisting tasks soon became apparent, primarily due to the loss of payload due to heavy and complex landing gear
Abandoning the requirement to carry pallets or pod cargo, the Mi-10K redesigned the Mi-10 with a shorter fixed four-legged landing gear and replaced the retractable escape chute with a pod equipped with flight controls to allow pilots to operate the aircraft while the load was suspended. The rest of the aircraft is essentially the same as the long-legged version. A total of 17 Mi-10Ks were produced, including two converted from the Mi-10 between March 23, 1974 and 1977.
The Mi-10 can be divided into two parts, the upper one is like a flattened Mi-6 fuselage (but no Mi-6 wings), which can seat 28 people, and the lower four very long landing gears (length: 3.75 meters), the length of the landing gear of the modified Mi-10K is much shorter, that is to say, the Mi-10 is mainly divided into the long-legged Mi-10 and the short-legged Mi-10K.
For example, the long-legged Mi-10 can lift large vehicles or equipment, such as heavy trucks or 3.75-meter-high modular houses, with a maximum capacity of 15,000 kilograms, thanks to its high altitude and wide space between its four landing gears, with a large metal platform in the middle.
As for the short-legged Mi-10K, its fuselage is the same as the Mi-10, only an observation position has been added under the nose, and whenever it is to be lifted, the staff sits in this position to control the entire helicopter, and the Mi-10K has changed to the general helicopter lifting method, with a large iron hook in its fuselage, which has a hole in the corresponding position at the bottom of the aircraft.
