To estimate the most capabilities of helicopter Mi-10 for transportation of freight the external suspension, it was set to change one of the helicopters specially for record flights. A trycycle landing gear from helicopter Mi-6 was substituted for the heavy quadricycle landing gear with long racks. On this changed helicopter in may, 1965 absolute international records of lifting of masses 15, 20 and 25 tons to an altitude of 2840 m created.
The Mi-10 helicopter the most load-lifting helicopter in the world (all on Mi-10 8 international records have been established). These records were exceeded in 1969 by the V-12 heavy helicopter dual-rotor cross-sectional theme, that raised freights in weight 15, 20, 25 and 30 tons to an altitude of 2951 m, and then {5 and 40 tonn on 2250 m - the records that have stayed until now remained unsurpassed.
