The Mi-26  is currently the world's largest production helicopter. The Mi-26 is only slightly heavier than the Mi-6, but can carry 20 tonnes (44,000 pounds), as compared to 11.8 tonnes (26,000 pounds) for the Mi-6. The Mi-26 can carry heavy sling loads, and replaced the Mi-10 .

The helicopter is powered by two Lotarev D-136 turboshaft engines, providing 8,550 kW (11,400 SHP) each. It has an eight-blade main rotor, with fiberglass blades with steel spar cores and fitted with titanium on the leading edges. The rotor blades have an electrical de-icing system, and the rotor hub is titanium. It is the only production helicopter in the world with an eight-blade main rotor, which allows a smooth ride.The tail rotor has five fiberglass blades. The tail is fitted with a fixed horizontal tailplane to maintain pitch stability & incidence can be adjusted by ground crews. The Mi-26 does not have stub wings like the Mi-6 but tricycle landing gear, with dual wheels on each gear. The height of the main landing gear can be hydraulically adjusted to assist cargo loading, and sensors are fitted to the landing gear to give the loaded weight of the machine through a cockpit control-panel indicator. The airframe features built-in handholds and footholds to help in field maintenance. The rotorcraft has a built-in APU, under the flight deck, to provide power to systems on the ground.

The Mi-26 has a crew of four, including pilot, copilot, navigator, and flight engineer. The cockpit side windows are bulged to improve visibility. The cockpit does not have its own external crew doors as does the Mi-6. Three TV cameras are fitted to allow observation of loads. The cockpit is pressurized, though the cargo bay is not. There is a four-seat pressurized passenger compartment behind the cockpit. There are 40 fold-down seats along the cargo bay, and 60 more seats can be fitted in the center aisle of the cargo bay. There are three passenger doors, two on the left and one on the right, that open downward and have built-in steps. The machine has hydraulically-actuated clamshell doors and a ramp on the end, plus a roller conveyor and two 2.5-tonne (5,500 pound) capacity electric winches on rails to move payloads around in the cargo bay.

Helicopter Mi-26: BUYING NEW

Production cycle usually takes three to six months for three or four Mi-26 helicopters although this may be dependant on production schedule at the moment. External sling loads, any other units needed for quick changing between Passengers and Cargo can of course be included and customized to meet with your requirements.

Advance payment can only be agreed in Moscow during negotiation with the manufacturer.

PURCHASING USED MI-26s

Slightly used Mi-26 aircraft is very rare because nearly all the Mi-26s in good condition are contracted in Europe, Latin America and Africa. There are Mi-26 of older age and their condition is not very good. Most of them strongly need full overhaul, which almost completely eliminates price difference between new and used aircraft.

PURCHASING NEW MI-26s

In your situation with what you are wanting to kick start your operation without any hitches we recommend you purchase NEW MI-26 helicopters. The reason for this is that with the new Mi-26, you are offered an extended warantee/guarantee provided by the manufacturer because you are buying an aircraft that is exported out of Russia as a NEW machine.
This is very important for you as you then overcome a lot of logistics and hurdles as regards parts etc. The aircraft will also be equipped and furbished as per your demands and requirements while you are here.

Finally, if you were to buy three or more Mi-26 there is a definite reason for new Mi-26 because these will then be serviced by Russian engineers to start and then either your own specialists trained in Russia or your country
after delivery of the aircraft. Such services are only provided for NEW helicopters bought direct from the factory. Thus having NEW MI-26s would mean you have our engineers and backup on hand and you will not have logistical problems like you would with buying second hand machines. The helicopters by the way can be painted in your colours and delivered as per your request. All  Civil Aviation rules will also be met, but they can be provided
by you at a later stage. 

Apart from  the listed helicopters you can get through our company helicopters we can obtain most  helicopters from  Russia.

Over 200 Mi-26s have been built & exported to Former Soviet Union nations including Ukraine, Kasakhstan, and Belarus. Ten were sold to India, three were sold to Peru, and the Mexican Air Force has obtained at least two. One Mi-26 was actually rented out by the US military during the Afghanistan campaign  to pick up a downed Boeing CH-27 Chinook helicopter, with the "Halo" making the Chinook small in comparison. The Mi-26 remains in production, and some sources mention development of an improved variant, with new rotor blades, more powerful turboshaft engines, and updated avionics.
