  1. In fact, it was the largest helicopter ever built!

  2. Soviet Mi V-12 First flew in the late 60's but they only built preproduction types. It worked just fine and had a 55,000 lb payload- more than a current C-130. It most likely had no practical use but was one of the many Soviet efforts to prove they were the equal to or better than the west.
