I never realize the size of the Mi-32 until I saw it's fuselage compared with the fuselage of a A320, dang that's huge.
Edit: not huge, but massive.
surely it's massive, but it's also humongous
@@beaconblaster33 Its actually gargantuan!
Edit: not massive, but humongous!!
just oversize drones
It's bigger than that, it's large
The real reason they canceled it was that they were intended to transport ICBMs to remote secret silo locations on siberia but then the technology in submarines advanced allowying them to put ICBMs in submarines and in at the same time satellite technology made easier to see smaller objects from space, making it more dificult to hide such silo instalations.
Are you sure you aren't confusing it with Mil 12?
@@sorokabeloboka8818 The mi12 was built with the intention to carry ICBMs and silo construction materials, with 2 mi6 engines, the mi32 would be a bigger version with 3 such engines but with the same intention: carry ICBMs, the reason they stoped the development of the mi32 and gave up the mass production of the mi12 (they only built 3 prototipes) were the same.
Hm, i think i saw something like this during the assembly scence of the positron gun in evangelion.
oh shit.. a rat
Me too
Now we gotta have someone link the scene
What the fuck is evengelion?
@@Ethan-iv8fs a anime where Alien entities called"angels" attack earth, wiping out at least half of humanity in their Initial so called second impact. Humanity reorganises itself under UN leadership, and tries to fight the angels. First angels can be killed and repelled with conventional weapons, but later ones are too powerfull, so the evas, giant mech like cyborgs, made from clones of the first Angel, lilith, are constructed and piloted by Teenagers called Childs. One of the angels, called ramiel, is too powerfull to be taken on at close range, and so the giant positron gun is build at a hill several miles away from ramiels location, basicly its a giant sniper rifle, using all of Japans available energy for a devastating focused energy shot(not a railgun, pure electricity) during the construction Montage you See some of those helicopters, or Variations, carry parts under them in Tandem or even quadro lift formations.
**Giant helicopter**
"Yeah, that's definitely Russian."
Yep
Russians make great helicopters

Russia is definitely one of the best at designing weird vehicle designs
They always wanted to invent something great but always failed
@@shfsj769 Ak 47
@@shfsj769 are you sure about the "always failed" russian inventions? Like their hypersonic missiles was great and other missile system such as S400 missile system
There is NO SUCH THING like "russia" or "soviets". It's f OCCUPATED land by the RFashists regime on moskovia
@@shfsj769 Due to their lack of organization.
No, the Soviet engineers were not "insane", they were really rather brilliant, in many spheres, eg the Mig 29 and what is now known as the Ariane Euro-rocket. They didn't have access to the computing power of the west, nor the massive funding, yet they came out with some amazing stuff, albeit some of those ideas may have been stolen...
I'm still blown by the ikranoplans - especially the little known fact that some of them could get fully airborne like a regular plane, with comparable stats. Even many of the few content creators reporting on ikranoplans aren't aware that some didn't have to rely on ground effect only - absolutly amazing machines!
I didn’t think the Soviet Union used KSP as a design program.
Yet another historical oddity to add to my list. Yes, I have an actual list of these machines, for a far future project, that I've managed to grow extensively thanks to this channel.
Do you have the Vickers Type/Scheme "C" yet? Hasn't yet made an appearance here but Jared really should get on it as as far as I know it's not been on youtube yet.
@@tacet3045 nice mention!
@@tacet3045 Thanks for another odd addition. The thing looks like if someone wanted to build a plane backwards.
Cierva Air Horse copy.
@@neiloflongbeck5705 Thanks for another odd addition to my list.
I'm amazed that something like this hasn't been built since then by Russia or some other country. The advancements in carbon fiber and turbine engines would lead to a stronger lighter fuselage that could lift more and go farther. With the Mi-26 still the heavy-lift title holder it's long past time for a new world champion.
I think it all came down to money, & whether there is an economic need for a helicopter like this.
Its less of a question of "can it be made" than it is "should it be made".
Despite being odd looking, I don't see any reason why it COULDN'T be made, even back in Soviet times, other than lack of founding. And founding comes when there's a need and the proyect is the best answer to it.
@@user-sg6zh6vr7h Well technically there is no reason why it shouldn't be made. There might be actual applications it could be useful for.
Lets be honest here.
The Soviet Union came up with some interesting, and functional designs that technically worked but either was too ahead of its time and or politics screwed it over.
Many of these cold war era designs can actually be useful in the modern age for other countries. This one would be perfect for many industrial and or hard to reach locations with heavy loads.
Its only fair and honestly more respectful to the former soviet power if the rest of the world picked up these interesting designs and used them. A positive legacy for the former power.
@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent see, the reasons why it was cancelled werent solely on budgeting or politcal reasons, from the design shown, it is quite a massive helicopter, massive helicopters need a lot of clearance to land, they also need quite a bit of maintenance, and due to the (arguably) limited use of such a heavy helicopter, the cost for the parts and the helicopter itself would be massive. Would it have it's uses? Yes, most definitely. But is it cost-effective? There aren't much hard numbers to base upon since it wasn't built, but from historical experiences with massive over engineered pieces of equipment, probably not.
Not going to lie that is probably the coolest looking aircraft I've ever seen. I've been lucky enough to have been in several unusual aircraft including the AN124 a Hercules tanker and a military 747. All cool but that's a bit special.
I actually suggested this helicopter in the ka-22 video. Cool to see an actual video of it! Keep up the great work!
I thought Siberia was a lot smaller, I've learnt something today.
It's not so straightforward. This map shows geographical/historical Siberia. But most people regard Siberia by the Federal District... which IS much smaller. People in the Far East, regard themselves as such, not as Siberians.
What in tarnation is that
Illuminati-copter
crazy how they wanted to make a helicopter and cereal at the same time
The problem in triangle flight is at least two rotors co-rotate, four would allow two pairs in contra-rotation, increasing stability and swift manoeuvrability
I'd love to see an RC version, that would be a fun project.
Underrated idea. It would be a pretty big project for an RC maker who has the sensibilities of Hacksmith, but I think it would get a lot of attention and serve as a proof of concept.
yes indeed but the 3 rotors it would be hard to make it fly
@@rajkamalpresentations8543 Not really, betaflight already supports tri-rotor quads, adapting it to stabilise three collective pitch blade sets instead wouldn't be particularly difficult.
Best Squarespace ad ever lol 😂
Clever transition to the sponsor SquareSpace and excellent video as usual.
FAE: "craziest helicopter concept you've ever seen"
Also FAE, 6 months ago "look at this 6-rotor flying helicarrier/flying arsenal ship concept"
Was this thing used to rack huge pool balls?
Da.
VTOL doritos with hole
An awesome unique design. With todays computers and assistance such a helicopter should be far more useable as back in the 1980ths .
You have to also think about how to effectivelly produce, store and maintain, which would be an issue.
If I ever come across a steam emgine in the Tundra I'll now know how it got there
Your ad transitions are ridiculous. I love them.
Thanks for the video. Never heard of this concept before. Keep going with these videos of concepts.
Looks like they cut the cockpit off a mi26 and glued it on lol
Probably exactly what they did for their mockup. Soviets/Russians are nowhere as finesse as the Americans. Then again, these projects never get passed the drawing board anyways.
the mi26 is perfect. its huge. ive seen it. it makes the others look like toys. but you get to a point where the rotors get so huge and 3 rotors + redundancy is just inefficient. complicated gearboxes etc. mil alas are not as powerful as they once were. the mil-38 is a great product but its the mil-18 that is still selling because of cost.
So we are just going to ignore the fact that there is no tail rotor to for counter rotation and since all three lifting rotors all spin in the same direction this counter rotation has to be massive?
Yeah, on normal (small) tricopters two rotors counter-rotate and the third rotor is tilted slightly, in order to cancel out its torque. I suspect the 3D artist didn't know better.
its explained in the video how all three can rotate in the same direction.
At centre of mass, equal forces of three rotors spinning in same direction are 120° cancelling each other out.
I think I spend 3-4 minutes explaining this in the video…
@@FoundAndExplained You didn't explain it terribly well and certainly didn't spend 3 to 4 minutes on it. You brushed it up to a few sentence of a) the rotors being aligned to "avoid the influence of torque on the fuselage" (which isn't the most technically correct language) or b) each rotor changing speeds depending on the flightpath.
a. implies that the rotors are tilted in such a way that they each produce a sidewards component to counteract their torque such that the net torque is 0. Probably better if you explained this instead of leaving the user to infer this, and it's still ambigous whether it was just the front rotor that was tilted sidewards or all rotors.
b. makes 0 physical sense and does not counteract any torque at all. All the rotors are producing torque in the same direction, so reducing the speed of a rotor will only reduce the net torque, not counteract it. Furthermore, a slowed RPM will mean less lift, and to prevent uncommanded roll or pitch due to said rotor producing less lift now, the collective / blade pitch on that rotor will have to be increased, meaning more drag and more power required to spin that rotor, increasing it's torque back up, which means in the end nothing is achieved. So the provided explanation doesn't make sense and even as an aerospace engineer I have trouble figuring out what you might have misinterpreted, let alone the average viewer...
Otherwise cool video though.
The Soviets were really making Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts boss vehicles back in the day
I tought that I knew a lot about helicopters... What a fool.
Excelent video. Thank you!
Thanks for the research-it helps a lot.
Look like advanced version of Mil V-12
It does
Weirder and weirder. Looking forward to another awesome video. Thanks!
Seriously cool video I thought I had see every chopper ever made. This is a first for me seeing a triple engine/rotor design.
For future reference the Chinook is pronounced like “Shin-uk”
Hell still mess it up
"Da, Komerad we haff good news!"
"What is news?"

the one thing i absolutely LOVE about soviets, is that, in nearly ALL of its extremely important and craziest departments, there were so many women executives working at the same level and rank as men, when the rest of the world was still severely oppressing and repressing women in so many debilitating ways.
Yet, during the whole run of ZSRR women had less than 4% share in all political positions.
@@kingtiger3390 to be more like Nancy Pelosi? Kamala Harris? Jen Psaki? 😸
that is what I impressed you the most? Take your blinders off and try to see the world as it really is. Or in this case as it really was.
@@richardbishop8666 im curious to hear more. what do you mean?
3:53 I kinda want to see a few videos using the "without Squarespace" graphics.
I saw an interpretation of the Mi-32 in the movie "Rebuild of Evangelion" as an equipment transport unit for massive weapons parts. Now I see where the inspiration came from.
The second craziest helicopter, there was a dirigible helicopter combination a few years back that ended in disaster
I never heard about that!
I can't believe how high the quality of your animations is, its like from a film
Aw man! Russia have always made the best helicopters, and seeing that map of Siberia, I understand why! Some of the best airplanes, too. The An-2 is some kind of miracle.
The forbiden ＤＯＲＯＩＴＯ
I love your videos, and would like to point out an inaccuracy in your 3D animation that I’m hoping I can get you to render accurately in future videos: Russian and European helicopter rotors generally rotate clockwise, as opposed to the counter-clockwise rotation of American helicopters. But the exceptions mean you have to vet this with each model.
If we add a forth one and make it even bigger we could call it a helicarrier
The ekranoplan in American Airlines livery wins me over! Well done hahaha
Crazy Soviet engineering never fails to amaze 😲
Just one thing, the rear two propellers would have been contra-rotating.
I thought that as well, although they indicated the rotors were aligned to avoid torque, whatever that involved.
Yes, this concept would spin in circles as shown!
Design one then instead of criticism.
@@pablo12113 Don't be a child.
Or perhaps you stack two rotors, one atop the other. Some helicopters have that design and don't need a tail rotor for stability. So it would have six rotors for lift (3 pairs) and use some type of vector thrust for directional control.🤔😎
Looks a bit like a lot of modern drone designs. Seems that four rotors is the norm now for drones, but if you expand the scale, it is a huge drone design. Good for lift capability, but the big spans would be the weak point for structural integrity and load limits. I think the future may include massive drones used for heavy lift tasks, like rescue, remote construction etc. thanks for the video
very interesting, ty
Well, a tri-rotor is actually very stable and easy to control. Differential collective pitch for pitching and rolling, and yawing can be achive by tilting all three rotors (through cyclic controll) in a circle. For example, here is how it performs a coordinated turn to port side:
-Lowers collective pitch on the port rotor, increase on the starboard to perform a roll to port.
-Cyclic pitch tilting the bow rotor to port, the port rotor aft, the starboard rotor forward, yawing the craft to port.
In level flight a tiny yaw control (cyclic pitching in a circle) can be used to cancel out the torque of all three engines. But, a tri-rotor will suffer from dissymmetry of lift and the accompanying speed limit. Since roll control cyclic is still required on all three rotors to compensate for advancing-retreating blade lift during forward flight, this input is however smaller compared to single rotor crafts, thanks to the balancing action of having a port and a starboard rotor. So it is more like the P-factor on propeller planes.
Very excited about the sneak peek part @ 4:01. Are you going to do an episode on the DARPA Liberty Lifter?
A interesting idea. Too bad it was never fully explored. A helicopter like that could be invaluable getting to some areas of the world.
I am glad, it`s not possible... greetings to all those `some` areas...
Tandem rotor helicopters would probably be more practical.
We have them today too
The new world order is building something simalers.
Yes!!! 4:00!!! waited 30 years or so to see that!!! BRING IT ON!!!
Thanks for sharing, good job as always mate. New channel, I thought you're not into aviation and space. Lol.
It looked too weird even for the Russians.
Just looking at it it makes sense. More rotors, more mounting points for lifting, and it has room in the middle for whatever it lifts to sit on the ground, unlike a chinook
Nice graphics. Reminds me of that odd (computer generated) russian anti tank granates without barrel and sensors - but every shot a hit ...
the ussr : i m gonna make the mother of all helis !
I have seen a photo ofa model of this monstrosity, but no one ever believed me it was "real". Thank you for making this doucmentary!
I wouldn't be surprised if this design ends up being reused in a future ship; it's clever. Just like the flying wing for solid state flying ships.
Could be useful today for things like fighting forest/bush fires and for disaster relief efforts in remote areas.
That about clears up the mystery of the hovering triangular shaped UFO.
However it still doesn't explain why the Soviets needed to anal probe everyone.
Un projet grandement énorme! Un tel hélicoptère devait pas être évident à piloter vu les technologies de l'époque? Merci pour le partage, un abonné de France. 🤔🚁
It makes sense. 3 point is the minimum to stop all movement of what your carrying while not over complicating things and wasting fuel. The cab is in the front center, and you have no main components in your blind spot.
Would make an interesting drone design
They reinvented the Cierva W.11 Air Horse which first flew on 7th December 1948.
I’ve actually never heard of this heli until now.
The "Me2" still flying!
That promotion was clean.
With regards to the Chinook "the ability to adjust lift in either rotor makes it less sensitive to changes in the c of g". I don't think the pilot can adjust the collective of either rotor as such. I think what you are referring to is the CH-47's Differential Collective Thrust (DCT).
Longitudinal control of tandem rotor helicopters is accomplished by differential thrust (collective pitch) of the forward and aft rotors creating pitch attitude changes of the fuselage about its lateral axis.
(a) Forward cyclic input decreases thrust (collective pitch) in the forward
rotor system and increases thrust on the aft rotor system causing the
aircraft to pitch nose down and increase airspeed.
(b) Aft cyclic input increases the thrust on the forward rotor and
decreases thrust on the aft rotor system causing the aircraft to pitch
nose up and decrease airspeed.
So it is not something the pilot can adjust, but rather an automatic by product of forward and rearward application of the cyclic.
!! WOW !!
Top engineering!
I would love to see that built today given the advancements in technology
A wonderful & unique video about triangles 🔺️ helicopters of past USSR M-32 for transmission of Cargo for distances position...British and USA they designed their owns (found & explained )channel thanks for sharing
meanwhile in the Pacific Rim series Chinooks or their more advanced descendants are used to carry the giant monster killing robots the Jaegers which were like 70 tons in weight on a standard model.
just get three cargo helicopters and connect them to each other with some sort of triangle frame. so all you need to do is making that frame.
would love to see this thing fly
Any helicopter with those kind of dimensions would be a sitting duck if used anywhere near armed enemies.
Cool. I found the helicopter to lift my yacht up and over the dams on the missouri river to get it to my chosen destination.
Man that looks wild.
"Making the mother of Helicopters here Jack, can't fret over every blade."
Интересный проект! Не знал о таком.
Problem with animation. Copter would not fly with all props turning same direction! Copter would be spinning
Great video. Just some minor corrections. Chinook is pronounced with a soft CH like Chicago. Also, the propellers on top are called rotors or rotor blades. Chinooks call them rotary wing blades.
I'm sure they would have been able to create at least the prototype (like they did for AN 225, Buran etc.)
I feel like the cabin should have been detachable, with a parachute, like an escape pod if the helicopter disintegrates!
Maybe a blimp would have been more practical for heavy lifting, yes I'm aware they have drawbacks.
Blimps, or airships, are making a comeback. China is using them for a variety of purposes. Maybe they'll use them as you suggested one day.
i thought it was one of those clickbait pictures with outrageous impossible contraptions lmao.
Given advanced technology nowadays, may as well skip to Quad-copters in the form of a V-22 successor with 4 propellers. Of course, the only country who'd even be able to entertain the idea would be the US. Moreso since they're pursuing something similar between the ever larger King Stallion and upgraded Chinook concepts for transporting increasingly heavier equipment. Even the next-gen FVL program has plans for superheavy vertical lifters, with JMR-Heavy and JMR-Ultra intended to rival that of conventional plane transports, and some early concept art depicted a "super Osprey" with 4 engines but a C-130 or larger style body.
Ospreys are a nightmare , nearly 70 years in development in one way or another . And they are still a nightmare , one crashed the other day killing all onboard .
@@tim.iteland.9447 That's sad, friend. Thank you for sharing. And, ftr, while I was is in the Army, it's the one "heli" that I reminded myself that I shouldn't go in, if I had the chance.
@@tim.iteland.9447 They also are in no way a replacement for traditional helicopters. Tiltrotors will always be less efficient in vertical lift and hover due to the higher disk loading.
I want to play a massive game of pool using this helicopter as a pool triangle
Who knew that me liking and subscribing would in some way ensure the work and effort into designing the Mil Mi-32 would not go to waste. Makes you think, doesn't it?
That's one hell of an easy target.
Honestly I kinda want to see a low quality animation for sketchy wunderwaffen story with no effort put into for 4/1 episode.
You know what, let's not wait for another 4/1. why not next video?
On the animation all the propellers spin in the same direction.
Great content - and the research you ppl have done is insane. I'd love to know how I can get involved. And your sense of humour is really subtle and witty. Thx for all the info.
