It is fake. It was a viral marketing campaign for an in airport hotel.
http://aprilfools.hotelicopter.com/ http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/0...er-is-not.html This is the military version it is based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-12 Never made it past the prototype stage however.

That's what I thought. The port engine housing just doesn't look real enough although it's a pretty good job elsewhere if you ignore the lack of dirt and grime that always builds up on aircraft.

Can you imagine trying to actually fly that thing, or worse land it in more than a slight breeze?
Must handle like a drunken, one legged elephant!

I don't think it looks capable of flying at all. Actually I think it looks ridiculous. Much more believable if it was attached to a dirigible or lifting body airship.

So we swing those side jet thrusters around a few degrees and we've got our extra lift.
Why are you trying to pick apart an otherwise completely unworkable plan?
