Design

Mi-46T

The Mi-46T was the passenger/cargo transport version, built similar to the Mil Mi-26, with a takeoff weight just half the weight of the Mi-26, fit to replace the aging Mi-6. The Mi-46T requires two new-type Aviadvigatel turboshaft engines, "each with a power of 5,"590 kW,

Mi-46K

The Mi-46K was the flying crane version fit to replace the Mi-10K, and is designed similar to it, with a crane styled construction similar to Mi-10K with stub wings. And long braced landing gear. D-21SV engine PD-12V turboshaft. However, its development is hindered by the "lack of an engine," as until now there is no suitable engine for this helicopter. The Mi-46K requires two unspecified 5,965kW turboshaft engines.
