History
Mil was established in 1947 under the guidance of Mikhail Mil as the helicopter laboratory of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute in Zhukovsky, Moscow Oblast.[3]
The Mil Mi-1 became the first mass-produced Soviet helicopter.[3] The Mi-8 helicopter, designed in the early 1960s, was a successful design in both military and civil applications, with over 12,000 units being produced.[3]
Mil merged with Kamov and Rostvertol to form Russian Helicopters in 2006.[4] The Mil brand name has been retained, although the new company eliminated overlapping product lines.
