    I call hoax. Every one of those photos was rendered as well as the video.

    Sorry. To be clear, the photos of the outside of the 'copter are rendered. The interior could be genuine but still somewhat faked. Who wants windows from the hall into their room?

    That's a beautiful hoax. This phenomenon will go harder and harder with the incredible development of 3D softwares.

    I call fake: The airframe on which this is based, the Mi-12 broke the record of helicopter carrying weight at 44205 kg. According to this article, this monster would have a takeoff weight at 105628 kg. That would be significantly heavier than anything carried by a helicopter before.

    Couple this with the fact that the pictures look more like 3D renders than photos, and that no one in the industry has ever heard of this thing before (even after their supposed first flight) makes be think this is just an elaborate hoax.
