Mi-30 is a project of the Soviet multi-purpose tiltrotor developed by the M. L. Mil MVZ under the direction of M. N. Tishchenko in 1972 . Inside the design bureau, this design scheme had its own name " propeller ". The main task was to provide such parameters of speed and flight range that would exceed the similar parameters of helicopters . The Mi-30 tiltrotor was considered as a replacement for the Mi-8 multipurpose helicopter in the future.

Flight performance
As the power plant, it was supposed to use two TV3-117 engines located above the cargo compartment, which were supposed to actuate by means of a transmission two main rotors with a diameter of 11 m each. The estimated flight speed was to be 500 - 600 km / h, flight range - 800 km, take-off weight - 10.6 tons. The Mi-30 in the original design was intended for passenger and freight transportation of 19 passengers or 2 tons of cargo. [1] . Subsequently, the carrying capacity was increased to 3-5 tons, and passenger capacity up to 32 people [2] .
Military Modification
The military approved the development, but demanded that the propeller plane be equipped with a more powerful power plant with two D-136 engines. The estimated mass of such an apparatus increased to 30 tons [2] .
