There is no counterpart of Mi-26 in the world yet. It is constructed by a single-rotor scheme with a tail rotor. It is equipped with an onboard television unit with video cameras and a control device facilitating machinery loading and cargo behavior on an external sling during the flight. In contrast, the principal and tail rotor blades are equipped with an electrothermal antifreeze system. Construction and equipment of the Mi-26 allow it to be operated during autonomous basing on unequipped sites.
