Raise a glass to the skies of heavy-lift aviation. The Mil Mi-26 “Halo” Engraved Whiskey Glass is a tribute piece that blends bold engineering, aviation history and fine craftsmanship. Precision engraved onto premium crystal-clear glass is the unmistakable silhouette of the Mi-26 — the world’s largest production helicopter — capturing its massive rotor, dual engines and cavernous transport fuselage.
Why this piece is special
Heavy-lift legend: The Mi-26 was designed in the Soviet era to lift payloads up to 20 tonnes and remains the largest production helicopter in the world.
Indian service story: The IAF inducted four Mi-26s between 1986 and 1989 and assigned them to No. 126 Helicopter Flight “Featherweights” at Chandigarh.
Aviation anecdotes:
The Mi-26 still holds a world record for the greatest mass lifted by a helicopter to 2,000 metres: 56,768.8 kg in 1982.
In Indian operations it undertook massive logistic and transport missions in remote terrain, underscoring its unique capability in high-altitude and heavy-lift roles.
Design of the glass: Meticulously etched, the image of the Mi-26 on the glass depicts its rotor span, fuselage bays, and multi-wheel landing gear in crisp line art — a visual tribute to the heavy-lift craft.
Collector-worthy: Whether you’re a veteran of rotary-wing aviation, a collector of military memorabilia, or simply someone who appreciates fine drinkware with story and purpose, this glass delivers.
