The Mil V-16 was a Soviet heavy cargo/transport helicopter project of the late 1960s. The original scheme described a heavy side-by-side twin-rotor aircraft with two soloviev D-25VF gas turbine engines below six-bladed rotors at the tips of heavily supported wings on each side of the fuselage and tricycle-type landing gear, with both rear landing wheels mounted below the wings while the front wheel was located below the cockpit.

A sample of V-16 has been on show at the Le Bourget-Paris "Salon de l'Aviation" in June, 1971.

Variants

V-16
Proposed ultra-heavy version of the V-12, intended to lift 40,000 to 50,000 kg (88,000 to 110,000 lb). Originally envisaged in a three rotor layout, powered by six Soloviev D-25VF engines, but reverted to a two-rotor system similar to the V-12 powered by two large gas generators supplying a single large low pressure free-turbine driving a main gearbox each.[1]
Mi-16
The proposed VVS designation for the production V-16.[1]
