It can also be very heavily armed with an extensive array of rockets, missiles, and guns. The MI-17 is often used to air assault infantry forces to attack the point of penetration, reinforce units in contact, or disrupt counterattacks. Additional missions include attack, direct air support, electronic warfare, airborne early warning, medevac, search and rescue, and minelaying. The Mi-17 helicopter was developed at the Mil Design Bureau from the Mi-8 helicopter and is manufactured at the Kazan Helicopter Production Association. The designation Mi-17 is for export; the Russian armed forces call it Mi-8MT. The Mi-17 can be recognized by its tail rotor, which is located on the starboard side instead of the port side. The Mi-17 added a number of improvements to its predecessor, including a vibration damper to increase comfort for crew members and passengers. The helicopter features high-thrust-to-weight ratio pair of TVZ-117MT or TVZ-117VM shaft-turbine engines with a takeoff power of 1,900 hp. The Mi-17 is capable of single-engine flight in the event of loss of power by one engine (depending on aircraft mission weight) because of an engine load sharing system. If one engine fails, the other engine's output is automatically increased to allow continued flight. The Mi-17 can carry cargoes in the cabin (including long cargo) with half-open or removed doors, external loads, or passengers (24 people). The Mi-17 can carry up to 30 troops and up to 20 wounded; it can also be used for in-flight unloading of special cargoes. The transport version of the MI-17 helicopter is designed to carry cargoes (loads) in the cargo compartment, including long-size cargo with partially-opened or removed cargo doors, external loads, or executives (up to 24 persons). Interior seats are removable for cargo carrying. The rear clamshell doors open, and an internal winch facilitates loading of heavy freight. The floor has tiedown rings throughout. The aircraft carries a rescue hoist capable of lifting up to 150 kg.
