Yakovlev Yak-60
" 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 "

Thicc boi
@DEADSHOT15 it would be huge.
@DEADSHOT15 literally, this helicopter would have been 40 meters long, imagine this thing in the sky
The soviets really said fuck you to the CH47 Chinook and made their own version
@WinsWings I will try to update the heli, also sorry for the very difficulty controls.
Great, thanks for building an historical one
