The CH-53 is right up there with my regard for the F-22 and F-35. Obvious applications but fascinating machines. It would be an honor to fly any of them.
The Soviet-Russian Mil Mi-26 HALO is the largest helicopter to have ever been produced in number and remains in active service with customers across the globe.
He meant most powerful, and NO the MIL-26 isn't it. Also, there were a couple of other Soviet Era helicopters that were MUCH larger than the 26. Look 'em up. One looked like a large cargo plane with twin, overhead rotors, and and one was a MASSIVE unit with multiple main rotors.
When I lived outside Bridgeport CT I would see them alot being delivered. Biggest single rotar I've seen. The air pressure when they fly over at 500 feet is almost painfully pleasurable.
"This cargo lift helicopter (CH-53) is the biggest helicopter ever built (0:35)". Well, that is quite deceiving and an overstatement indeed. The Mi-26 is bigger in size and heavier lifter too. Better, if you would say, "biggest of the USA".
Came here to say this. Research better. Actually even Mi-26 is not biggest "ever built" it's the biggest in serial production. Mil V-12 is the biggest ever built but it was only a prototype.
You look at this copter, and you will never understand and appreciate the power and smooth operation, until you are on one, it is INCREDIBLE, to go to 9,000 feet with 45 ? people fully equipped in seconds (it seemed like) crazy strong and flew for a half hour to the Carrier, just crazy !
@@victorsedona9573 I was at New River 75-78 , first squadron 362, 263 for Med. Cruise second half of 76, then 461. Got transferred to NAS Alameda 78 - 81 where I got trained to do turboshaft engine repair for my last 3 years.
1) MI-26 length: 40 m, height: 8.14 m, weight: 28,200 Kg, and capacity: up to 90 tropps or 60 stretchers. 2) CH-53 length: 30,1 m, height: 8.6 m, weight: 15,070 Kg, and capacity: up to 55 troops.

Obviously you don't know that more sailors died in the battle for Guadalcanal than marines. It was because the sailors were trying to protect the marines from the Japanese fleet. They put up a hell of a fight but suffered one of the worst defeats in the US Navy's history. Which is why that body of water off Guadalcanal is now known as Iron Bottom Sound. FLY NAVY!!!@@Rotorhead1651
Mil Mi-26 is the biggest I know of. Certainly bigger than both of these but having worked in an office just off the flightline from where the USAF trained their MH-53 pilots until phased out by the CV-22, the 53 is a spectacular machine. The E and K got a third engine and a lot more power, so I would assume it would be more impressive yet
@@saisr1 I flew 58's hueys, not chinooks, for the Guards ,but we had them. An Airforce 53 needed to use our facility to change an engine for a couple of days. I was very impressed by that 53 next to one of our chinooks, in the hanger. When they flew away, they gave our civilian tower a buzz, which was funny as hell.
I've wondered for quite a while why a full-on combat attack version of this chopper was never produced. And 'AH-53 Rottweiler', in effect. Multi-barrel GAU-8 miniguns mounted forward, rearward, and on the sides. Or similar armament. Would have packed a punch, reinforced armor plating on bottom and sides would have added resilience.
we need a Sikorsky Hulk or Hercules. Capable of airlifting a crewed Abrams tank and fit 2 Bradleys inside with full crew and cabin. The Bradleys can be occupied to max crew capacity as well. Also an inflatable buoy system to touch down on the ocean for rapid extraction of Zodiac boats with a winch system to bring them in on the cargo ramp
The King Stallion (CH-53K) is NOT the largest helicopter ever built, but it is the most powerful. The Soviet Union made 3 completely different airframes which were much larger (though not as powerful) than the '53K. One looked like a gigantic triangle, with 3 main rotors. It was designed for moving outsized loads to remote locations.
My glorious " Helios".. euphemism for hovering "in Overwatch" sentinel mode over...Oackland, California ...general area. "22" , this aint 2022 any longer..and 22 numerologically speaking,...symbolizes: "Repetition or Redundancy"... the Rover will Marshall on with its main mission to put an "X" ..like the very blades of the heli-machine... subtle message for "do not approach applying ur usual greedy or cunning ways".. we're on Overwatch advisory Roll..so we have clear/perfect visuals and 10/10 360° enhanced headgears!
A C-5M Duper Galaxy cargo plane has a payload capacity of 281,000 pounds--- enough capacity for a fully assembled 88,000 lb CH-53 K King Stallion with folded blades and still have a 50% plus reserve.
A- What's a "Duper Galaxy", & 2- I was a '53 mechanic in the USAF, and unless they made some MAJOR design mods to the base C-5 airframe cross section, NO 53 can fit inside the hold without removing the main rotor head and transmission, the engines, and putting smaller tires on the nose gear. I've done it. What's your experience?
Today, a $35 drone can easily down it. I flew Hueys in Vietnam and then Cobras and the Blackhawks all the way to Somalia and am glad to have it all in my rear view mirror as there is now no place on the modern battlefield to have a person in anything flying. Times have changed and it will get worse. Best of luck to all of us!
I took a ride from the USS Enterprise to NAS JAX once, I was wearing my dungarees, and after we landed I smelled like grilled chicken and my uniform was drenched in hyd fluid. Yeah, had to trash them. That son of a gun is one loud, shaky and leaking sexy piece of machinery
I think the sky crane can only lift about 24,000 pounds. Something like a 90 foot rotor diameter. The coolest thing that has ever shown up on one of our jobs.
While the CH-54 "Tarhe" engines are very powerful, and the airframe is basically a stripped-down, reinforced skeleton to enhance its payload capabilities, and it's drive train is a beefed up version of the CH-53C's, it's also much older, retired from military use, and the civilian versions don't get upgrades the way active-duty military airframes do.
the Indian Navy could do with a fleet of 38 - 43 brand new navalized surface ship borne MH-53KU Sea Stallion II (Block 10+) maritime multi role heavy lift helo gunship . . . only catch is the navy will have to enlarge the aft stern section hangars onboard their guided missile destroyers & frigates to accommodate the big helo . . . other than it's perfect for the navy . . .
The CH-53 is right up there with my regard for the F-22 and F-35. Obvious applications but fascinating machines. It would be an honor to fly any of them.
What are you talking about!!!??? Either this is a poorly worded sentence or you're expressing two distinct points of view BADLY!!!!

isn't the Mil V-12 the biggest ever built?

There have only been four confirmed MIL MI-26 heavy helicopters made by the Russians.

Amazing.. Superb flying iron...
Great improvements!
I hope one day I will be able to see this beauty in person!
You guys really need to watch the details and wording….the refueling probe isNOT on the top and rear of the fuselage…..
She could be a handful to fly, but for the most part, she was a gentle giant. The D was the last model I flew would love to fly a K.
I was a USAF mechanic on the MH-53H Pavelow IIIs back in the 80s.
Fly by wire for the 53K. Probably a fun one to pilot!

Respect to Russia, from a former '53 mechanic.
(I'm so annoyed at how much they got wrong here)
I knew that someone was going to bring up the Mi-26… Both helos are sitting ducks in a combat situation, although these helos are also necessary
They are mostly used as heavy transport and humanitarian work, not in combat.
Both? You do know they built more than just two MIL-26s, right? 😉👍🤣😈
Those helicopters won't be going into a hot lz without CAS or has been cleared of all enemy activity.

It's called a joke, Mikey. Get a clue.

You should see a chinook next to a 53. The chinook looks like it has A.I.D.S.

Boeing made an MH-47 Gunship. 4 of them, in fact. One survived Nam and I believe it's in a museum.
0:38 "biggest helicopter ever built" Nope. Not even close.
Lol, the Mil mi-26 is the largest serially produced helicopter used for both military and civilian operations
As always, a great video. Thanks.
Russian Mi-26 is about 50% bigger. Get your facts right. There was an even bigger Russian helicopter, but it was impractical and never really on use.
