<p>What vehicle can lift up a couple of tanks or a 7 tonned transmission equipment in the air? Not only a launch vehicle “Proton-M” is capable of this, but also a Russian helicopter<br />
“Mi-26″ – the largest of such class! This flying warehouse is produced in Rostov-on-Don, at “Rostvertol” factory. They say that those who once entered the military enterprise are not allowed abroad then…</p>

<p>“Rostvertol” has been working since the 1940s. They say that at that time they produced helicopters from wood!!! Military men were afraid of flying on huge logs…</p>
<p>On the photo above is a shop where they assemble Mi-26. Cargo up to 20 tons can be loaded in it. Americans make an analogue but it can lift only 1,5 times less.</p>
<p><img title="Helicopters Assebmbled" src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/helicoptersassembled/helicoptersassembled001-5.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>You think it’s a shop? No! It’s a cabin. It may accomodate another helicopter, for example a three tonned Ka-226. And one KamAz. And a tank can be hung on the frame.</p>

<p>In order workers caould get close to such a giant they need real construction scaffolding. The helicopter height is more than 8 m which is comparable with a 3-storey building.</p>

<p>Such vehicle can make a loop or a rolling. It is often called “a night hunter”.</p>

<p>Soon newly made attack helicopters will go to defend the country. The military forces have already been provided with new Mi-28N, Mi-35M, Mi-26.</p>

<p>Fuselage pressurization system</p>
<p>In order we feel comfortable being passengers of a plane flying at any height they keep pressure close to normal atmospheric one in a cabin. Consequently the fuselage flying at height and being in rarefied air represents such kind of a blown up balloon that can burst in any moment…</p>
