The Mil Mi-46 is a projected heavy-lift helicopter with a carrying capacity of 10 to 12 tons, proposed in a transport version and a flying crane version to replace the Mi-6 and the Mi-10K in the gap below the larger Mi-26. Preliminary work began in 1982, and in 1990 the Ministry of Civil Aviation asked Mil to design it as a development of the Mi-26, improved with the results of the Mi-38. It was to have a seven-bladed main rotor and a five-bladed tail rotor, with a transport variant on two engines and a crane variant on three. The project has been held back by the lack of a suitable turboshaft engine of 7,500 to 8,000 horsepower in Russia or abroad, and the Perm D-215V rated at 7,600 horsepower was proposed. No prototype has been built.
