Wow, the Chinook looks so tiny in comparison to the Mi-26. 40ft container maximum weight is 67,200 lbs. Skycrane max payload is 20,000 lbs and Mi-26 is 44,000

40ft container maximum weight is 67,200 lbs. Skycrane max payload is 20,000 lbs and Mi-26 is 44,000 lbs. But do you think all the containers are at max weight? The ones on top are the lightest and the helicopters might be able to help with them after all, or maybe we can find a way to use two helicopters per container.

- slifin 6y agoLol, Can we compose the helicopters?
- dkersten 6y agoSplit it into many micro-helicopters, each deployed and scaled independently?
- Sohcahtoa82 6y agoI'm picturing a fleet of a few thousand hobbyist drones. It would sound like a massive angry swarm of bees.
