[edit] Innovative?

"notably the side-by-side rotor scheme"

I should say this wasnt "innovative", but rather direct rip off from German Focke-Achgelis Fa 223. And one could actually claim the whole aparatus was such.

ohh.. Yet another "soviet copy of western copy of german device" flame... Ja, naturlich! 105 tons vs 3 tons doesnt matter. Carring wing vs simple girder is no differ. Yes, it was not the first helo of such a scheme. I don't like words as "innovative" - they produce flame, but my level of english is "1". PLZ, edit the article. --jno 13:46, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
