To counter this, Mikhail Mil proposed that the new helicopter was more of an update to new turbine engines rather than an entirely new helicopter; this persuaded the council of ministers to proceed with production.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Due to the position of the engine, this enabled Mikhail Mil to justify redesigning the entire front half of the aircraft around the single engine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The prototype, which was named V-8, was designed in 1958 and based on the Mil Mi-4 with a larger cabin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">During an official visit to the United States in September 1959, Nikita Khrushchev took a flight in the S-58 presidential helicopter for the first time and was reportedly extremely impressed. On Khrushchev&#8217;s return, he ordered the creation of a similar helicopter, which was to be ready for the return visit by the American president, to save face. A luxury version of the Mi-4 was quickly created and Khrushchev took an inspection flight, during which Mikhail Mil proposed that his helicopter in development was more suitable. However, it would be necessary to have a second engine for reliability. This gave Mikhail Mil the power under the orders of Khrushchev to build the original two-engined helicopter, which for the first time in Soviet history would need purpose-built turbine engines, rather than those adapted from fixed wing aircraft (as in the Mil Mi-6 and the first prototype V-8) and an entirely new main rotor gear box that would be designed in-house for the first time. In May 1960, the order was given for Mikhail Mil to create his twin engine helicopter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There are numerous variants, including the Mi-8T, which, in addition to carrying 24 troops, is armed with rockets and anti-tank guided missiles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Procharter recently managed a challenging and complex aviation and logistics project in Afghanistan, operating several hundred MI-8T and MI-8MTV flights throughout Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Aircraft of comparable role, configuration and era: A\u00e9rospatiale SA 330 Puma, Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea
