About

Curious minds are always interested in what's the biggest and the best, and in a status-driven world, this becomes all-important to even the youngest among us! 

Introduces young readers to the Mil Mi-26, the world's largest helicopter, and explains the engineering that allows it to lift enormous loads. The book explores why the helicopter was developed, its massive rotor system, cargo capacity, and the specialized jobs it performs, including disaster relief, construction, and transporting heavy equipment to remote locations. Readers also discover the aircraft's history, how it compares with other helicopters, and the innovations that have made it one of the most powerful rotary-wing aircraft ever built. A visual size comparison helps place the helicopter's remarkable dimensions into perspective.
