The Mi-2 parted from the Mi-1; the main soviet helicopter in the 1950’s. The Mi-2 was originally contemplated as a modification of this helicopter, with intent to place the “new”, smaller (and progressively more reliable) gas turbine engines, as opposed to pistons. The rather noticeable bulge at the top stems from the fact that at the time, due to this technological transition, engineers still feared reliability (+power) and thus 2 engines were placed there compactly along with other systems… leading to the added height. The prototype was completed in 1961, but full scale production was more towards the late 60s in Poland. The helicopter is considered a soviet workhorse, with uses in crop dusting, military ops & cargo. This helicopter basically represented the light helicopter segment in Soviet Russia. // Fun fact, the thick inlets are actually oil sumps, and serve as anti-icing.// Aircraft originally part of the Soviet Union Air Force, and now found at the Museo Del Aire, in Madrid.
