Below check the specific characteristics of the helicopter or eVTOL you are looking for. You can select multiple items for each characteristic. The results will be filtered automatically. 

MD Helicopters MD520N & MD600N

The MD520N and larger MD600N have a fan in the tail boom that blows out air at the end to counter the torque of the main rotor. For the rest they are similar to the Hughes 369 family, with the egg shaped fuselage ending in the exhaust of the engine.

MD Helicopters MD900

This helicopter in the class of the EC145/H145 has no tail rotor, but uses a fan inside the tail boom that blows out air at the end to counter the torque of the main rotor. It has an H-tail with swept vertical stabilisers at the ends of the horizontal stabiliser. The latter is placed on top of the tail boom. The cockpit window arrangement is typical.

Mil Mi-2

The Mi-2 has quite a large gear box/engine housing on top of its small fuselage, and that is one of the key features. Additionally, the heli has a narrow tail boom that points up diagonally at the end to hold the tail rotor. It has no vertical stabiliser. 

Mil Mi-24

The Hind is a large combat helicopter with two separate canopies for the crew, short wings with significant anhedral and weapon pylons and a retractable gear as main distinctive features. The Mi-24 also has a cabin in the fuselage to transport people.

Mil Mi-26

The large Mi-26 is quite similar to its predecessor, the Mi-6, but has no wings. Also, the main gear is close to the fuselage and has double wheels.

The Soviet counterpart of the Apache has a five blade main rotor, two separate canopies, a large scissor type tail rotor (so with unequal angles between the blades) on the top right of the vertical fin and a high mounted horizontal stabiliser on the left. Typical are the stub wings with significant anhedral.

Mil Mi-34

With its rounded fuselage the Mi-34 looks a bit like the Hughes 369 family, including the engine being placed in the rear of the fuselage, in front of the tail boom. This tail boom extends from the middle of the fuselage though, not the top. The Mi-34 has a T-tail with a ventral fin.

This helicopter looks like an enlarged Mi-8, especially with a longer cabin. Like its predeseccor it a fixed, single wheel main landing gear and two wheel nose gear. The Mi-38 features a six blade main rotor. Typical is the unequal angle between the four tail rotor blades .

Mil Mi-4

The Mi-4 has a rounded front and rear fuselage, a high placed cockpit and a piston engine in the nose below, somewhat similar to the Sikorsky S-55. Likewise, it has two fixed front gears under the nose and two fixed rear gears attached to the side and underside of the fuselage. 

Mil Mi-6

The Mi-6 is one of the largest helicopters ever built, and still powered by two turboshaft engines. A typical feature are the short wings, that give additional lift in forward flight. The main gear has large, single wheels and the nose gear two wheels.
