The first prototype, the W-8, flew in 9 July 1961. It was powered by a single AI-24V engine. A second prototype, with two AI-24V engines, made its first flight on 17 September 1962. After a few changes it was introduced into the Soviet Air Force by 1967 as the Mi-8, and remains in production as of 2009. The Mi-8 is the worlds most-produced helicopter, and is used by over 50 countries. There are numerous variants, including the Mi-8T which is armed with rockets and anti-tank guided missiles, in addition to carrying twenty-four soldiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a turbine-powered replacement for the Mi-4, the Mi-8 was first flown on July 8th, 1961.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEasy Model Platinum Collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Easy Model Platinum Collection range presents highy-affordable, ready-made plastic models of military aircraft.
