FLYING “MONSTERS”, WHY WERE THESE GIANTS NEEDED?

Giant flying machines.
1. Flying "monster" from Hiller Aircraft.
The Hillers Air Tug was an ambitious concept proposed by the Hiller Aircraft Company in the 1960s during the Apollo program. The idea was to use a massive heavy-lift helicopter to catch and recover the spent first stage of the Saturn V rocket mid-air after its separation from the rest of the launch vehicle.

2. Giant aircraft carrier Stratolaunch Roc.
The Stratolaunch Roc is a massive, uniquely designed dual-fuselage carrier aircraft developed by Stratolaunch Systems Corporation to air-launch rockets and other vehicles to high altitudes.

3. Biggest helicopter ever is MI-32.
The Mi-32 represents an audacious vision—an attempt to conquer the skies with a helicopter capable of lifting immense loads. While it never took flight, its legacy lives on as a testament to human ingenuity.

4. Antonov An-225 Mriya..
The Antonov An-225 Mriya was a strategic airlift cargo aircraft that was designed and built in the Soviet Union. It was the largest and heaviest aircraft ever built, with a maximum takeoff weight of 640 tons.

5. Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe.
The Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe is an American twin-engine heavy-lift helicopter designed by Sikorsky Aircraft for the United States Army. It is named after Tarhe, an 18th-century chief of the Wyandot Indian tribe whose nickname was “The Crane”. The civilian version of this helicopter is known as the Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane.
