Yakovlev Yak-60

Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Helicopter Challenge (CLOSED)

" According to my sources, the Yakovlev Yak-60 was a heavy lift helicopter project that was scrapped and not even a single prototype was created. "

" It would have been designed in the 1960s in the Soviet Union, as the Soviets needed a very powerful helicopter to take nuclear warheads from one location to another due to American espionage, among which several designs and schematics were made, one being the Yakovlev Yak-60 which would have been equal to the Yakovlev Yak-24 because of the cockpit, the project was scrapped after Soviet designers and air force preferred the Mil-V12 design, And many said he really looks like CH-47 Chinook, and the reason for the design being scrapped is that the air intakes of the rear engine could be compromised because of the front engine, and also the MI-V12 was more promising and " Better " than the Yak-60."

" Also another detail: the real version that was projected was going to have an length of 40 meters, obviously putting 40 meters in the game is kinda " difficult " for me and could have been more difficult to control "

"The one next to the Yak-24 is what the Yak-60 would have been "

" Although a prototype of it has never been created, in addition to being a rather obscure project because it is very unknown, it still manages to be amazing for the time it was designed. "

" PS: in the future I will update this helicopter "
