The Mi-8 is the most famous of Russian helicopters, and around 12,000 Mi-8's were built. It is one of the most successful helicopters of the Soviet air industry.24 June 2005 1ill marked the forty four years since the first prototype V-8 flew and exported to over 60 countries. It has outlived its maker Mikhail Leontievich Mil (1909-1970). The Mi-8 is a turbine-engined derived from the Mi-4 'Hound' for civil & military applications and first flew in 1961 in its 'Hip A' prototype form with a four-blade main rotor powered by a 2,012 kW ( 2,700shp) Soloviev turboshaft. It was replaced by the 'Hip-B' prototype with a five blade main rotor and two Isotov TV2-117 turboshafts. The first production model was the 'Hip-C' that introduced Doppler navigation and provision for heavy armament used in the defence roles. After the first prototype, the second had two TV2-117 turboshafts (1962) and a new five blade main rotor (installed in 1963) and finally came the start of the series production in 1965 first only at Kazan and five years later in Ulan-Ude. The Mi-8 is an excellent assault and utility transport helicopter and, is still built in its upgraded Mi-17 form with an uprated powerplant of two 1,454 kW ( 1950 shp ) TV3-117MT turboshafts. Russia's armed forces stopped ordering the Mi-8 in 1990 and the production became dependent on foreign customers. Modification from Kazan saw the Mi-17MD feature: meteo-radar, an integrated system of radio-communication and navigation, GPS, Nightvision, HDD etc. The Ulan-Ude factory yearly output is still far from that of the 1980's when 30 helicopters were produced monthly.

Specifications Powerplant: two 1,270 kW (1,703 shp) Isotov TV2-117A turboshafts Dimensions:length 25.24 m ( 82ft 9.5in); height 5.65m ( 18ft 6.5 in ); main rotor diameter 29.29m ( 69 ft 10.5 in ) Weights:take-off ('clean') 11,100 kg (24,470 lb ); MTOW 12,000 kg ( 26,455 lb ) Performance: max level speed at 1,000 m (3,280 ft ) 260 km/h ( 161 mph ); service ceiling 4,500 m ( 14, 760 ft ) Armament: this is carried on two outriggers extending from the fuselage sides, and comprises four launchers each carrying 32.55mm ( 2.17 in) rockets.More than 12,000 Mi-8 (NATO codename Hip) multi-purpose helicopters have been produced, with more than 2,800 exported, and they are operational with over 50 air forces worldwide. The Mi-8 can carry up to 36(Mi-8MTV-5) troops, weapons (Mi-8MTV) such as UB-16,UB-32,Falanga Anti-tank missiles, used in combat for the first time in the Middle east during 1973-74 by Syria & the Mi-8MTs were used in Afghanistan, along with Mi-17's. They have also been used in Angola, Chad, Mozambique, and Nicaragua and between Iraq and Iran, Ethiopia and Somalia, India and Pakistan, Peru and Ecuador, and in former Yugoslavia.

At the present time, as a result of constant perfection of a design, the Mi-8 Helicopter possesses good characteristics, fine operational qualities, high reliability proven with long years of work under various climatic conditions.

On the basis of helicopter Mi-8 (МГА) models "Tourist", the "Interior", a convertible variant have been created. The helicopter equipped in a variant "Tourist", allows to deliver in any place group of people in comfortable conditions. It is provided due to use of soft armchairs and systems of clearing of vibration. The variant "Interior" enables to carry out business meetings and negotiations during flight.

The most numerous of the Mi-8 series is the Mi-8T ,transport-assault version powered with two TV2-117 turboshafts which can transport 24 fully equipped soldiers or equivalent of.

The convertible variant of the helicopter allows us to convert the interior from transporter into a passenger vehicle. Thus it is possible to transport about 26 person on folding armchairs. The cargo variant with the sizes of a cabin 5,34 х 2,34 х 1,8 m allows to place in it various cargoes in weights up to 3000 kg or can be equipped additionally for transportation with stretchers & up to 12 seriously ill patients or wounded people.

MI-8T TRANSPORT HELICOPTER

The Mi-8T military-transport helicopter is configured with a conventional pod and boom, with a tail rotor and non-retractable tricycle nosewheel landing gear. The five-bladed rotor is made from aluminium alloy. The cockpit accommodates three crew: commander, navigator and flight mechanic. The cockpit and the main cabin are heated and air conditioning is optional. An oxygen system is provided for the crew and for casualties in the ambulance and rescue variants of the helicopter.

The survivability features of the Mi-8 include crew cabin armour plating, explosive-resistant foam filling in the fuel tanks, a fire-fighting system and duplicated and standby hydraulic and power systems and main control circuits. De-icing systems are installed

CARGO SYSTEMS

The helicopter's landing-transport equipment can be used to load light towed combat material and armament via winches and to rescue people from the ground or from the sea by an electrically operated hoist (200kg capacity). The cabin has cargo tie-down points on the floor. Ramps are provided for loading vehicles. The cabin can accommodate twelve litters (stretchers). The external cargo sling is rated to carry 3,000kg.

ENGINES

The Mi-8T helicopter is powered by two Klimov TV2-117 turboshafts engines. Deflectors are installed on the engine air intakes to prevent ingestion of dust when taking off from unprepared pads. The helicopters also have an auxiliary power unit (APU) for self-contained operations. The helicopter carries 1,870 litres of fuel in two flexible internal tanks and two external tanks. The total fuel capacity can be increased to 3,700 litres by installing up to two ferry tanks in the cabin.The new TV3-117(400shp is a more powerful motor than the TV2-117) engine & was developed in the 60's and 70's for ombat helicopters like the naval Mi-14 'Haze' and army Mi-24 'Hind', and was also installed in Mi-8 together with Mi-14s transmission and rotors thus creating an upgraded version of Mi-8 which was eventually named Mi-8MT-Modifyed Transport (for export Mi-17) in 1981.This version soon replaced the 'first generation' of Mi-8 on production lines in Kazan and Ulan-Ude. The more powerful engines allowed an increase in maximum takeoff weight from 12.000kg to 13.000kg,and the hovering ceiling was increased from 850m to 1.760metres.The helicopter's structure had better aluminium alloy. The Mi-8MT(Mi-17) is easily distinguishable from the Mi-8T by the shorter engine nacrlles and by the rotor which is fitted on the left side of the tailfin. In 1988. the first helicopters had the new TV3-117VM engine from Kazan (& in 1990. in Ulan-Ude). This engine enabled more power and higher altitudes and was first installed in Mi-24s.

MI-8MPS SEARCH AND RESCUE HELICOPTER

Mi-8MPS search and rescue helicopters were developed from the military transport helicopter. In rescue missions, the helicopter crew drop radio-beacons to mark the distress area and deliver rescue teams to aid and recover the casualties. The helicopter can lift ten people at a time on a sling via a PSN-10 life raft and is provided with an emergency landing device that ensures buoyancy for up to 30 minutes.

The fuselage of the Mi-8MPS incorporates specific modifications for search and rescue missions, including a larger entrance door, two starboard hatches, a raft container and external additional fuel tanks.
