Yakovlev Yak-60 is a conjectural designation for an experimental Soviet tandem-rotor heavy-lift helicopter design of the late 1960s.
History
This heilocopter was designed in the late 1960s, and may have been a competing design to the Mi-12 heavy lift heilocopter. It featured two Mi-6 rotors in tandem, each driven by a a pair of 6,500 shp D-25VF engines, giving it four times the payload capacity of the Boeing Chinook. The cockpit would have been similar to that of the Yak-24. The Yak design was more convential than the Mi-12, which was ultimately produced. The designation Yak-60 has been suggested based on the fact that an extant study model has the number "60" painted prominently on its side.
It was planned to use four 4,847 kW (6,500 shp) D-25VF engines, each pared in tandem with rotors from the Mil Mi-6. The aircraft is said to have a cockpit similar in layout to that of the Yak-24 and have over four times the payload of the Boeing-Vertol Chinook. The Yak-60 never made it to mockup stage and only a model exists.
