This is a model of the Mil Mi-6 (Hook), a heavy twin-engine transport helicopter.
The Mil Mi-6 was a Russian made heavy-lift twin-engine helicopter built in many variations. The most common type of it is probably the transport version with short wings that were dismounted when it was used as an aircrane. But it was also available as firefighting helicopter, passenger transport helicopter and flying command post. It's rotor-gear was also used for the Mil Mi-10 Helicopter and the V-12, a prototype and the larges ever flown rotary wing aircraft. Later the Mi-26 was built on the basis of the Mi-6. The Mi-6 itself set several world-records for speed and weight-height lifting. In all it's versions it was built about 800 to 900 times and sold to nearly all countries that where friendly or part of the soviet union. Currently there is just the common transport version with short wings modeled for Flightgear.
Development status
Since the Mil Mi-6 Helicopter is currently in development, some (or most) features will not yet be available. There are still most instruments to be animated an textured, nearly the whole interior is unfinished, there isn't any livery available and not even the FDM is in a usable status of development. However the current version of development is always available via Git.
Get it
After you successfully installed Git on your PC, you can get it with
$ git clone git://gitorious.org/mil-mi-6/mi6dev.git
The real thing
Engines
The engineers of the Mil design bureau used two Soloviev D-25B turbines to power the giant main rotor. Each of those engines produces 4100kW takeoff and 3505kW nominal output. Their air intakes are equipped with electric de-icing.
