Mil Mi-46

The Mil Mi-46 is a projected passenger/cargo/flying crane aircraft first announced in 1992.

The aircraft was split into two versions: Mi-46T and Mi-46K.

The Mi-46T was the passenger/cargo transport version, built similar to the Mil Mi-26, with a takeoff weight just half the weight of the Mi-26, fit to replace the aging Mi-6.

[2] The Mi-46T requires two new-type Aviadvigatel turboshaft engines, each with a power of 5,590 kW, The Mi-46K was the flying crane version fit to replace the Mi-10K, and is designed similar to it, with a crane styled construction similar to Mi-10K with stub wings,[2] and long braced landing gear.

The Mi-46K requires two unspecified 5,965kW turboshaft engines.
