The Mil Mi-30 (also known as the Vintoplan) is an experimental Russian plane/helicopter that originated in 1972. The Mil Mi-30 Vintoplan was a transport aircraft that could hold up to 19 passengers or two tons of cargo; its purpose was to replace the Mi-8 and Mi-17 Helicopters. With vertical takeoff and the ability to fly like a normal plane, the Mil Mi-30 has a clear advantage over the older models.[1]
The first Naikrupneyshie Tilt Rotor Aircraft companies came into effect in the 1940s; the Vintoplan project was picked up and continued by these companies a few years after first development.[2] Of course for soviet helicopter builders, the dream of converti-aircraft has been a skeptical dream that they wanted to put to the test. At the beginning of the 1980s, scientists and the helicopter designers assembled a design and several layouts for this complicated aircraft, the original design of the Mil Mi-30 Vintoplan was expected to use a TV3-117 Turbo Shaft Engine with a four bladed propeller rotor on each wing; the original design of the Mil Mi-30 had several problems: Aeroelasticity, dynamics of construction, characteristics for the converter apparatuses, aerodynamics and flight dynamics.[1] The Vintoplan went through several different designs and layouts, shifting from having 2 engines to 3-4 engines and back to 2 engines.[3]
In 1981 an issue of decree on the development of the Mil Mi-30 Vintoplan made a proposal to the customer and institutions at MAP, shortly after words the military approved of the Vintoplan but desired bigger, more powerful engines.[2] In the development the weight capacity was raised to 3-5 tons, and the passenger limit was raised to 32.[3] In 1986-1995 the Mil Mi-30 was included in the program of armaments, however due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the economics, the Mil Mi-30 did not soar out in the new age of technology.[1]
The Vintoplan Mil Mi-30 was included in the 5-year plan in the Soviet Union from 1989-1995, the vehicle was able to enter service in 1996. In the last year, OKB experts in the Soviet Union designed three different models of the Mil Mi-30, each with unique designs- Mi-30S, Mi-30D, and the Mi-30L.[1]
An unmanned tiltrotor project was demonstrated in Russia in 2015, and the first flight was made in early 2016.[4][5]
